Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We had fun yesterday at Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop. Not once but twice. This shop is a must go to destination quilt shop!

You can see that we are a bit bundled up as our California snowstorm followed us East and there's a slight chance of snow today.

Here I am with Katie, the owner of Pieceful Gathering. She's the best! What you see on FB live is who you meet in person....so fun.

I spent a lot of time in the wool room. Just look at that wall of wool begging to jump right ...

Pieceful Gathering Retreat Preparations from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

While we still have power during the great snowpocalypse of 2023, I've been preparing all of my teaching materials for the retreat hosted by Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop in Fox River Grove, IL. I'm teaching Calico Cottages during the 3-day retreat.

I have all of my teaching materials created and nicely organized in a binder. I've sent boxes of quilts and tutorials back to Illinois, and hopefully everything will arrive on time and in one piece.

I've been using my own fabric collection called Hearthstone for teaching. I'm just having way too much ...

It's Almost a Wrap from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I finished machine quilting Calico Cottages the other day. It is so interesting when I take quilt off the long arm and get to view the entire quilt instead of just the 16" under the needle.

It seems as though this quilt was on the machine forever since the machine had a mental breakdown.....which made me close to breaking down. Elk Grove Sew and Vac had me back up and running within a week. My long arm is in my garage, and I nearly froze to death in the 30 degree temps outside. The warmest I was ...

Preparations Continue from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I've been singing a few bars of, "Leaving on a jet plane" over the past few days while preparing for my trip to the Pieceful Gathering retreat at Fox River Grove, Il. The tutorials are finished and safely packed away in my suitcase. All of the quilting components are glued onto the block layout sheets.

I'm teaching my Country Sampler pattern to the "retreaters".

I've dusted off my lecture and I'm ready to entertain the girls. Because of Covid, I haven't been doing guild lectures for over two years. I had to add ...

I've been doing some Olympic quilting this week as I prepare for the retreat for Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop in Fox River Grove, Illinois in March. I'll be teaching my Country Sampler quilt which incorporates a lot of the quilting components from my Patchwork Math book.
