Busy Days Ahead
from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog
Hello Everyone,
It was a very busy and fun week last week as we traveled to Arizona for our granddaughter's college graduation. This week I'm preparing for the Heart of the Valley Quilt and Textile Arts Show in Modesto where I've been asked to be the featured artist.

Building Relationships
from Nestlings By Robin
In 2017 I was very excited to have a design chosen
by Connecting Threads for their catalog.

Finished size: 60-1/2" x 72-1/2". $57
I had an idea of doing a series of blocks that used the same
components and graduate them in difficulty.
It turned out so well that we decided to do it in 2 fabric lines
in 2 different layouts.
Meet Elementals, named for the fun nature ...
