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.

Quilts on Parade from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

My email inbox has been filled with beautiful pictures from quilters who've made my patterns. Let me tell you I LOVE getting these pictures!

First up is A Ribbon Runs Through It by Carol from the Chicago area. She said she got carried away making pillow shams, throw pillows and a wool applique pillow. I need to get this carried away and create a beautiful setting like this in one of my bedrooms! I met Carol when I taught at the Pieceful Gathering Retreat a few years ago, and I hope to meet again.

Next up is ...

Heritage in Hearthstone from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I absolutely love to receive pictures from you, my cherished blog readers. A few short months ago, Nadine asked me if I could send her the fabric requirements for my Heritage pattern using my Hearthstone fabric line. Here is Nadine's beautiful and finished creation. Seeing her quilt is incredibly rewarding to me.

The quilt is also beautifully machine quilted.

I've always wanted to make a Heritage in Hearthstone, and I have added this to my list of quilts I want to make again. Thank you so much Nadine for making my design come to life and ...

Heritage in Hearthstone from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I, like you, have been busy getting ready for the holidays, so I haven't been posting very often. I did run across this file on my computer where I re-colored my Heritage pattern using my Hearthstone fabric line. I love the introduction of a bit of the plaid.

I really like it in this colorway and now I just need the time to make it! Let me know if you would like the fabric requirements.

The house is all decorated and the presents are wrapped except for a few stragglers. We've been going to Christmas parties ...

Eye Candy Day from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I love, love, LOVE to see variations of my quilt designs. This is my Heritage pattern made by my friend Kate. Her color combination of red, white and blue is spectacular. The machine quilting just puts this one over the top on the gorgeous scale.

The quilt started like this at a class I taught at Friends Around the Block in Colusa, CA. Every quilt has a beginning and a beautiful ending. Kate created an heirloom to enjoy for years and years to come. Well done YOU!

Then I received this image of my Country Charmer design made ...

Oh, La, La - Heritage is Traveling to France from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

The emails were going back and forth to France on Wednesday after I was contacted by the editor of QuiltMania magazine. They want to include my Heritage design in their January/February issue!

This version of Heritage was made by the Independence Hall Quilters (IHQ) of Arnold, CA. The quilt was the 2019 scholarship quilt, and raffled off at the Quilt Show last October. All the proceeds from the raffle ticket sales went to scholarships for graduating seniors from Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, CA.

I spent multiple days cutting fabric from my stash for each ...
