The Case of the Missing Quilt from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

My worst nightmare of losing my Timeless quilt somewhere in the vast abyss of the U.S. mail system haunted me all week. It was supposed to be delivered on April 13th....last Monday. Supposed being the key word here.

I checked the USPS tracking number every morning and evening and sometimes in between, I obsessively checked the USPS tracking number. The quilt never budged. It appeared to be permanently vacationing at a mail facility in New York. My local post office could clearly sense my rising panic and printed out a very detailed report of where my ...

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 ...

The Aftermath of the Storm of '26 from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

It's been a wild and wooly ride through the storm of '26 here at Wilder's Last Resort. All of the downed trees took our power and Internet connection out on Monday, 2/16 and wasn't restored until Thursday 2/26. Our Internet was restored on 2/27. During that outage, I did what I could on the Timeless quilt when we turned our generator on.

I've been working on the Ohio Star blocks for the final, outer border of the medallion quilt.

I prepped as much as I could during the daylight hours. I ...

Nanook of the North from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

In between major power outages lasting for 10-12 hours, I've been working on Timeless and attached the green border.

The snow started early on Monday which was ahead of schedule. Our power went out Sunday night at midnight and didn't come back on until yesterday afternoon around 3pm. We had the neighbors over for dinner and I fixed a delicious pot of meatball soup. We enjoyed our soup, salad, and a glass of wine or two and they walked back home.....right next door. They no sooner got home, when the power went off again around ...

Update on Timeless from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I finished two of the side, green borders and then put the quilt aside to get ready for company this weekend.

I have a thought about offering this quilt as a kit in a 'pick-your-own-size' to suit your sanity level as follows:

48" includes the row of baskets.

66" includes the green border.

83" includes the red ribbon border

96" includes the entire quilt.

This idea seems to be a big hit on my FB page and Instagram. What are your thoughts? Is this something you would be interested in if I offered the kit in several different ...

Tweaking Timeless from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I've been tinkering with the Timeless design again because apparently, I just can’t leave well enough alone. If I didn’t have EQ8 software (and the faint idea of how to use it), this quilt would still be a scribble on a napkin. Mr. Joe has officially stamped the newest layout with his seal of approval and trust me; that’s no small victory. That quilt critic has standards.

I’m especially loving how the second-to-last border now looks like a little ruffly ribbon which is very “soft and floaty” instead of “I came here to ...

Timeless is Growing from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I have really enjoyed making this medallion quilt. Each row adds so much character to the quilt, and you receive instant gratification seeing it come alive and grow into a real beauty. The little purple blocks are done and now added to the mix.

I made quick work making all of the components for the block and put them on the block layout sheet which is included in the pattern.

Then I sewed the basket rows onto the quilt. An added bonus is that the baskets fit perfectly (imagine that) and the quilt now measures 48" x 48 ...

Olympic Sewing from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I'm engaged in my very own Olympics here at Wilder's Last Resort by doing some Olympic sewing. I'm not a Quad God but my pincushion resembles a spiky crown.

Twenty-four little 6" baskets are now finished, and I've been a focused bundle of determination just like an Olympian focused on their sport. My sport is creating heirlooms for future civilizations....well family members at the very least.

Next up I'll be tackling the purple blocks. Once they're done, I'll stitch them to the medallion quilt and move on to the next ...

Little Blue Baskets from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Here's a quick update on my new Timeless quilt. I finished the eight little blue baskets which will be in the next round of the medallion quilt.

They are just stinkin' adorable! They are tiny, only 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" which makes them extra special.

Late yesterday afternoon, I started in on the pink blocks. I love the way the pink roses randomly dance around the block.

The blocks play well together.

I'm not sure how many I'll get made today. You know I'm a football fan and Winter Olympics fan. I do ...

The Progression of Timeless from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I've been totally focused on my Timeless quilt over the past few days.

The little checkboard border is finished.

Then I made the 44 double flying geese which creates a ribbon-like border. I changed my mind multiple times about which fabric to use for the little border and finally decided on the green and purple flower. This little strip is only 1/2" and it makes a big impact on the quilt.

I'm going to start making the basket blocks today, so my production level is going to slow down considerably. The fabric is starched and ...

Imagine My Surprise from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Imagine my surprise this afternoon when I took a break from piecing Timeless and opened Facebook, only to see a finished Timeless quilt on Stitchin' Heaven’s page. AI at its finest—there was my quilt, beautifully draped over a bed in a perfectly styled, color‑coordinated room. AND it appears to be machine quilted! Stitchin' Heaven is going to be offering the quilt as a BOM.

I'm the only one with the fabric.....well me and the mill in South Korea have the fabric. I haven't even finished writing the pattern yet!

I worked on ...

Timeless Stitches Has Arrived from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

My sample yardage of Timeless Stitches arrived on Thursday from Marcus Fabrics, and I dug right into it by cutting, starching and quilting.

I have only a limited amount of fabric, so I cut just what I needed for the center of the medallion quilt. I was eager to get started and didn’t want to starch the entire yardage. I have an antique wall‑mounted dryer in the guest bathroom that works perfectly for hanging the starched fabric over the bathtub. With the ceiling heat lamp on, they dry fairly quickly.

While I've been waiting for ...

Hobby House Quilt Works from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I'm thrilled to share that this California gal will be heading East next May to Victor, NY where I’ll be teaching at Hobby House Quilt Works!

I'll be teaching my new Timeless design.

This is an image of the fabric called Timeless Stitches for Marcus Fabrics. I'm anxiously awaiting my sample yardage so I can start creating!

Timeless Stitches from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Just when it looks like I’ve been sneaking off and playing hookie, surprise! I’ve been busy behind the scenes. Now I get to unveil my newest quilt called Timeless which I'll make with my new line called Timeless Stitches, fresh from her debut at Quilt Market in Houston.

Fingers crossed my sample fabric should be arriving within the next six weeks, and then I can dive into creating Timeless. The full line is shown below, and it’s everything I hoped for: fresh yet vintage, with a beautiful balance of lights and darks. I’ve ...
