Cabin Happenings from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

It's been a flurry of activity at the cabin. 'Timeless' is almost a finish!

'Timeless' came back beautifully quilted by my machine quilter, Dianne. Her quilting is incredible and I LOVE how she quilted every single element of it.

I had to get the binding done quickly since I have to send the quilt to Marcus Fabrics so they can pack it in their shipping containers and send off to the H & H show in May where Timeless will be proudly on display in their booth.

I had a little mini photo shoot in the cabin yesterday ...

Retreat Preparations and Updates from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

In my last post I showed you my friend's Calico Cottages quilt she entered into the Independence Hall Quilt Show......Diane won a well-deserved Viewer's Choice ribbon!

We went out for lunch to celebrate after the guild meeting. Mr. Joe met up with us down at The Bistro and Diane took our picture to show off the fall colors in the area.

Speaking of fall colors, our dogwood tree is spectacular this year. The tree is located right outside the windows in our great room, and we get to enjoy it all day every day.

I ...

Best of Days Designing from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I having the best of days designing with Best of Days fabric from Henry Glass & Co.

The instant I opened the box of Henry Glass fabrics, I saw a fall design in my future.

Stayed tuned so you can see who lives inside the little pumpkins. I'm having fun in my role as Brand Ambassador. I have two projects in the works.....one more to go.

You know I have to think about machine quilting my projects, and my long arm is in the unheated garage. I actually looked at a pair of heated pants on Amazon ...

Bursting My Buttons from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

My buttons are bursting.....not from too much food over the Holidays.....but from the fact that I can finally tell you my Country Courthouse quilt is going to be featured in QuiltMania magazine this year!

I submitted a picture to the magazine last July, and I was notified in August that it was accepted for publication.

The nerves set in immediately after acceptance, because I had to either have it quilted or do it myself. I spoke with an award-winning professional quilter, Jill Schumacher, and she said this quilt should be completely stitched in the ditch ...

Machine Quilting Country Courthouse from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Just as I get the time to machine quilt Country Courthouse, the weather turns chilly. Some quilters have their long arms in a nice, cozy room......mine is in my garage here at the cabin in the mountains. The good news is, the big garage door will be closed so I won't have to worry about a bear wandering in.....a very real possibility.

I quilted the spine on the border, then I start filling it in with feathers. I have to take a lot of pictures, to refer to when I work my way down the ...

Baby Houses & Shopping from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would take a break from showing you pictures from the retreat. Instead, I'll show you what I've been doing over the past week.

I took out my quilting toolbox and started building houses.

Little itty bitty houses. The house itself is only 3" x 3". I've added oversized setting triangles to make the houses float. They aren't floating houseboats.....just adorable little houses that are stinkin' cute!

I spend more time selecting the fabrics than it takes me to make a house. When I start foundation paper piecing, I always have ...
