Two Beauties from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I received two more pictures from quilters who made my patterns that I'm sharing with you. The first picture is Country Courthouse which came from Jan. This quilt took First Place and Viewer's Choice at Happy Trails Quilt Show in Surprise, Arizona.

Jan did a great job and is very deserving of her ribbons.

The next picture of Heritage is from Betty. The quilt was made by her husband Bruce. Here's what she said in the email.

"Wanted you to see my husband’s completed quilt. He has been encouraged to enter it into the ...

Mini Quilt Show from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I get a huge smile on my face when quilters send me pictures of what they've created from my patterns. My friend Lynnette, sent me this picture of her gorgeous Grammy Squares quilt.

Lynette added her own special touches in each of the corners. This also showcases the excellent quilting by Dianne Schweickert.

I love the little bird.

This is a picture of Lynnette with her award-winning bikini that she made and presented to me. She said she was tired of making the blocks, and needed to do something fun, so she made me a Grammy Squares ...

Extra, Extra, Read All About It! from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I received my digital copy of QuiltMania yesterday, and here she is in all her glory!

She's not the centerfold, so she doesn't have a staple in her navel! I was surprised to see her in a very contemporary setting. I guess it's to showcase the fact that it works in this setting as well as on my log bed, in my log home.

The issue is #139, and is available online right now. I'll get my paper copy soon, I hope. Both the digital copy and the hard copy contain the pattern for ...

Country Courthouse is Home from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Her journey across the pond to France has come to a conclusion. Country Courthouse is home after being photographed for QuiltMania magazine. If quilts could talk, I wonder what she could tell me about her travels.

I received a notice from QuiltMania that they were shipping her back via FedEx on Sept. 4th. I received the box on the 8th. It took less time to go from France to the west coast of the US, than a first class letter going 100 miles within the United States. My Etsy orders are taking forever to ship, and it's ...

A Well-Traveled Quilt from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

This is the reason I was excited and nervous at the same time. Yesterday, I shipped my Country Courthouse quilt to France to be photographed for the Fall edition of QuiltMania magazine.

I'm not worried about her once she gets there. It's the between here and there and back that worries me.

I really wanted to take her personally for her photo shoot, but shoot, who wants to travel now? That's why the photo shoot was cancelled at my log cabin by the editor.

I hope she doesn't kick up her heels too much ...

Country Courthouse Was In Session from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Here are some wonderful blocks the girls made in class for Country Courthouse.

Carrie started working on her quilt ahead of time, and brought (229) 2" x 2" 9-patches. You will need to make 405 9-patches for the large quilt. Carrie is over halfway there!

Jean made a lot of 9-patches ahead of time too.

Blocks were born......adorable blocks.

Carrie chain-pieced about 8 blocks at a time while making her Courthouse Steps blocks.

Heidi's quilt is going to be made in beautiful blues.

Jean's is going to be made in brights.

I love this center ...

Progress With Far Horizons Fabrics from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

It's been a very productive week under the pines at Wilder's Last Resort. There's been a lot of raking, and a whole lot of quilting going on.

Eight blocks done, eight more to go on my project for Henry Glass & Co. I'm making my Spoken For pattern this month. The blocks are going together quickly because I'm enjoying every minute working on them. Each 8" block is it's own little quilt. I enjoy selecting the fabrics, and seeing the design they make when they are together.

Here is the entire, delicious Far ...

The Start of a Classic from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Last Tuesday, twelve of us gathered in the classroom at Independence Hall in Arnold and started making my Country Courthouse pattern. The Independence Hall Quilt Guild is going to offer this quilt as our Scholarship Quilt for 2021.

Everyone is still smiling after a long day of cutting and stitching.

Our goal was to get a good start on making (401) 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" nine patch sections for the blocks.

We all had our homework assignment to make about 35, then we will exchange 9-patches in a couple of weeks and start making blocks.

I brought ...

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 ...

Country Courthouse Part Two from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

It was a marathon week of machine quilting Country Courthouse.

I didn't keep track of my exact machine quilting hours, but it was about 35 hours of quilting over the past 6 days. I would spend about 5 to 6 hours a day at the long arm. I stitched in every ditch which created this look on the back. The back is also where I could spot my mistakes once I took it off the long arm.....and there were more mistakes than I care to discuss!

With the anticipated snowstorm barreling down our way, I'll ...

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 ...
