Bridle Path Photoshoot from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We had a little mini photoshoot of Bridle Path yesterday. This quilt is a new block of the month for Marcus Fabrics using my Hearthstone fabrics.

I'm mailing it off to Marcus Fabrics today and I won't see her for a while.

We have to wait for the sun to almost set before we can hang the quilt outside to get a picture without sunshine and shadows.

I was ecstatic with Dianne Schweickert's incredible machine quilting. Every aspect is so beautiful.

I like to get an image of the entire quilt head on, but yesterday ...

Bridle Path from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We've had a very busy week since the retreat ended, and I haven't been good about posting. The most exciting news is that except for the binding, Bridle Path is finished.

Dianne Schweickert, from Livermore, CA quilted magic into the quilt. As I'm binding, I keep seeing Dianne's special little touches dancing around the quilt.

She turned the houses into log cabins consistent with the theme of the quilt. I love the three hearts over the door.

The entire quilt is quilted to perfection. Everything Dianne did enhanced the quilt and made it spectacular ...

Bridle Path Media from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I was thrilled to see this very short video which is part of the media kit for my block of the month for Marcus Fabrics.

I love the music selected for the video.

I've been busy here getting ready for the first Sew'n Wild Oaks retreat of the year. The girls roll into town on Sunday, April 23rd. I'm making name tags and putting a new tutorial together for foundation paper-piecing. It would also be a good idea if I cleaned the cabin too!

The pattern for Bridle Path is written and in the hands ...

Happy Easter from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Happy Easter to everyone! We are getting ready to head out to an Easter brunch at our homeowner's association. The bottomless Mimosas were the hook to get us to go! I can't remember an Easter where I haven't been in the kitchen fixing brunch for us. It is a nice change of pace.

My sister, Gail, has been up here in the mountains all week pattern testing for me. All of the pictures of the blocks were made by Gail.

I finally let her have a glass of wine when she finished her perfect pinwheels ...

Bridle Path Progress from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I've been quiet again since I've been creating a flimsy. Bridle Path is all together and ready to be quilted. Yesterday I put on the borders and the flange which is that cute little 1/4" of red fabric that frames the quilt.

I moved my machine out to the dining room table so I could spread the quilt out and have lots of space on which to work.

You can see we've had more snow.....again. This Winter has been relentless. At this writing, it is still snowing lightly. It looks like sifted powdered ...

Hearthstone Fabric Collection from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I was so excited when I discovered my fabric collection in the 'Coming Soon' section on the Fat Quarter Shop website. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see this collection coming to fruition.

I am the face to this fabric, but there are many other faces behind the scenes that made this happen. Yes, I came up with the concept, the colors, and the inspiration, but the talented graphic artists at Marcus Fabrics brought it to life. I couldn't have done this without their guidance and help.

There were many zoom calls, emails back and forth ...

The Big Reveal from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

The big reveal arrived early! Marcus Fabrics posted on their website, so now I can finally show you what I've been working on for weeks.....if not months.

The wait is over to see my new BOM and fabric collection for Marcus Fabrics! The quilt is called 'Bridle Path' and the fabric collection is called 'Hearthstone'. The sashing represents the Packhorse Librarians travelling along trails and paths in the mountains and hollers of Kentucky delivering books and spreading literacy to remote areas during the 1930's. The plaid fabric is called 'Highlander' which represents the Scottish influence ...
