Another Photo Heavy Post! from Humble Quilts

I'd like to share a few quilt shops we went to on our Midwest road trip. And a few other random photos! In no particular order on my blog:

This first one was jammed packed. It is called The Quilted Moose in Gretna, NE

Since nobody is paying me for reviews, I'll just say this was the least friendly quilt store that we shopped.

Loved Country Sampler in Omaha.

Laurie and I had a conversation about what the Midwest is known for other than corn. She convinced me it was pork! I thought if it was true this ...

Ohio's Miami Valley Quilts in the Museum (Photo heavy!) from Humble Quilts

Because I made this quilt in 2016 I was really looking forward to seeing the exhibit of Ohio's Miami Valley quilts at the International Quilt Museum!

Here is my finished quilt:

Karen Beigh and I did this one together and she was instrumental in designing our quilts!

These were the books we used.

Sue Cummings book does not have patterns but inspiration.

Anita Shackelford does have patterns in her booklet.

I don't have much to say about these quilts so I'll let you enjoy! They were really incredible!

Loved the quilting!

So doggone cute!

My favorite of ...

Quiet Time from From the Strawberry Patch...

So, this is a post about Quiet Time. As you can tell from this photo, there's lots of resting and quiet time going on here. This was taken at my parents' home in New Hampshire last week. It was Augie's first road trip and he did extremely well in the car; you would have thought that he was a seasoned road-tripper! He rested nicely on his back seat platform and did what he was supposed to do

New Starts from From the Strawberry Patch...

My second new quilt start happened this week with yet another block-of-the-month class. This one is based on a pattern called "Cream and Sugar" by It's Sew Emma. I've decided to adopt the lower-contrast neutral palette as illustrated; I think it will be pretty and a nice way for me to experiment with value, it will be fun. One of the class participants expressed that she thought beige quilts were

Country Sampler Class in Medora from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I still have a lot of pictures to show from the Badlands Quilters Retreat in Medora, ND. Today I'm showing pictures from my 2-day Country Sampler class.

This is one of my favorite workshops to teach as I believe the students learn so much. They learn the formulas to make common quilting components any size they need.

This is especially helpful when you want to change sashings and borders or make a row-by-row quilt or when you are working on a round robin quilt.

The class made all of the same components yet look how different the ...

Miles of Smiles from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I'm home! We left Winnemucca, NV fairly early and headed for home in Arnold, CA. We stopped in Gardnerville, NV to have lunch with a friend that Gail hasn't seen in 55 years. Then the car headed over Ebbetts Pass on autopilot. The eastern side of the Sierras are so beautiful in Gardnerville.

This sign was riddled with stickers......no bullet holes, but stickers.

Home is over the mountains in the distance which we had to drive over.

As we entered the pass, the fall colors were in full display.

This is the cow camp along ...

California or Bust from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We got a very early rocky start to our day. Both Gail and I were craving our foo foo vanilla lattes at Starbucks. We were thrilled to find a Starbucks in Rock Springs, WY. Gail was driving so she pulled up to the window, ordered, paid, and then drove away! Hey Gail, what about our lattes? After an extended laughter, we headed through some very interesting landforms in Wyoming while sipping our lattes.

We crossed into Utah to see some beautiful colors in the mountains, but the pictures didn't capture the beauty of the mountains.

We stopped ...

Where the Deer and the Antelope Play from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We started our day at the Crazy Horse Memorial which is very close to Mount Rushmore.

The memorial is far from done and it will not be completed anytime soon as there are only 14 people working on this ambitious project. It was started in 1948......so that gives you an idea of just how long it has taken just to get to this point.

The magnitude of Crazy Horse dwarfs the faces on Mount Rushmore. The faces on Mount Rushmore would fit in the top part of the mountain by the Crazy Horse face. We are still ...

California Here We Come! from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We saw our first bison yesterday about 1 mile into Theodore Roosevelt National Park. What a handsome animal.

The entrance to the park is only a half mile from the retreat center.

We saw lots of prairie dogs, wild horses in the distance, and Gail thinks she saw a coyote.

Someone wrote on my FaceBook page that North Dakota is so flat you can watch your dog run away for two weeks! The eastern side is pretty flat; however, we enjoyed the easy drive across the prairie.

This sign was riddled with bullet holes.

Badlands Quilters Show and Tell Friday Night from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We've had a very busy and fun-filled three days at the Badland Quilters Retreat. After my Peek-a-Boo Pumpkins class on Friday, we had dinner then Amy Munson presented a trunk show on the history of Crazy Quilts. This is not a crazy quilt, but it is a good picture of Amy and a quilt she made and showed during the show and tell session.

Sit back and enjoy just some of the quilts displayed during show and tell.

This is a quilt back!

Day 1 of The Badlands Quilters Guild from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Today was the first day of the Badlands Quilters Retreat. It was a balmy 24 degrees this morning when we left the hotel for breakfast.

The bluffs behind the community center are beautiful.

I taught Peek-a-Boo Pumpkins today.

There was an explosion of orange in the classroom.

Gail helped the girls make the ribbon border.

The theme for the retreat is Run for the Roses.

We had a little fun with this photo op.

Only one mishap today. I walked into the men's room instead of the women's room. Oh well, only one person saw me ...

Road Trip Day 4 from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We started out the day drinking 'Mountain Mud' coffee in Billings, MT and ended the day eating Walleye in Medora, ND. We quickly drove out of the mountains in Montana and entered the rolling plains and grasslands in eastern Montana. We were sprinkled on just a bit, maybe we were being baptized in the plains.

We still saw a bit of color from the cottonwoods and elders.

Then we started seeing such interesting land formations covered in red.

A friend in Arnold suggested that we stop at the Enchanted Room quilt shop in Glendive, MT. What a wonderful ...

Road Trip Day 3 from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Montana rolled out the red, orange and yellow carpet for us yesterday! We think we hit the peak of the fall colors. It was incredible! We were gobsmacked (I love using that word), as we drove around each bend in the road.

We didn't have a brilliant start to the day. We were headed to Starbucks for our vanilla lattes before we drove out of town. Instead of getting into what I thought was the drive through window, I pulled into the drive-up window of a bank. Who knew they didn't make lattes and send them ...

Monday October 3, 2022 Trippy Sisters from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Here we are, Lynn and Gail ready to set out on our road trip to North Dakota. Or as Gail says, our Toad Trip. She was texting her neighbor and that's what came up. Darn spellcheck!

The car is full of quilts, tutorials, patterns, books, and suitcases. We are going to be gone for 14 days and you need a lot of changes of clothes.

First stop was the sun rising over Lake Alpine. Note to self: before you get out of the car, put it in park. Insert a grimacing face here. Our trip could have ...

Spring Travels and Rest from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

We have had a lot going on lately and unfortunately our needles have been rather still, much to our dismay. Between road trips, health, and family, we have had to take a little hiatus from the blog and social media. Our needles will be busy soon, but in the meantime we will share a few pictures from the aforementioned road trip. It was to Paducah, Kentucky for the AQS quilt show and it was wonderful!

Please enjoy!
