The "Spoken For" Flimsy from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 
Hello Everyone,
 
I officially have a flimsy!  "Spoken For" is a completed quilt top.
 


I put it on the snowbank in our driveway and took a picture between snow showers.  Yes, there is a double flange!  Flanges are like potato chips, you can't make just one.


I think this quilt is a beautiful showcase for the Far Horizons fabrics by Henry Glass Company.  I really enjoyed putting the combinations together.

I'll have to wait until it warms up outside so I can put this flimsy on my longarm.  The machine lives in my garage, and it was a ...

Spoken For Progress from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,
 
Blocks appliqued onto the background.....Check.  Sashing and post finished.....Check.  Rows stitched together.....Check. Now I have to figure out what to do for the borders.

 

Far Horizons is the fabric line that I used to make my Spoken For pattern.  The fabrics are the first line designed by David Schulz for Henry Glass Fabrics.


I loved working with this rich palette.


Yesterday I cooked a 17# turkey.  It was a full blown Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings for just the two of us.  Mr. Joe has a bad cold and couldn't taste a thing ...

Dresden Tutorial - Spoken For Pattern from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,
 
While we are spending more time at home, quite possibly in our sewing rooms, let's learn a new technique to add to our quilting toolbox......the Dresden Plate block.  My blocks are a little different because I'm combining Fans and Blades.  The Blades are the "pointy" bits, and the fans are rounded.
 

 
This is the block I'm making using Far Horizons fabric by David Schulz for Henry Glass Fabrics.  Begin by selecting three fabrics that look gorgeous together.  With this fabric line, they all look gorgeous together!
 


According to my pattern called Spoken For, I ...

The Finishing Flange from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,
 
I just have a few minutes for a quick post before I head off to meet with my Sew'n Wild Oaks Girls at In Between Stitches.  
 
 
I decided on the soft green fabric for my flange....or is it flangi??  It really puts a nice, finishing touch on the blocks.  Each block in the middle row is flanged, and you can see the difference that it makes.  I wanted it to be subtle, and classy.  


I'm going to have to hurry, and make seven more blocks.  I love the fabric selection process for each block.  It ...

Progress With Far Horizons Fabrics from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 Hello Everyone,

It's been a very productive week under the pines at Wilder's Last Resort. There's been a lot of raking, and a whole lot of quilting going on.

 
Eight blocks done, eight more to go on my project for Henry Glass & Co.  I'm making my Spoken For pattern this month.  The blocks are going together quickly because I'm enjoying every minute working on them.  Each 8" block is it's own little quilt.  I enjoy selecting the fabrics, and seeing the design they make when they are together.
 

 
Here is the entire, delicious Far ...

Far Horizons Progress from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,
 
I've been happily working away with the Far Horizons fabrics by David Shultz for Henry Glass & Co.  

David designed the fabrics using the colors of Australia as his inspiration and color palette.  I see the deep, rich blue of the Great Barrier Reef, the golden hues of the Outback, and the dusty green of eucalyptus leaves.  I saw his inspiration the instant I opened the package from Henry Glass & Co.


I'm making my Spoken For pattern with the fabrics.  I think it is going to be an excellent way to showcase this gorgeous fabric line which ...

Far Horizons Fabric from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,
 
It's time for me to put on my Madam Ambassador hat for Henry Glass & Company, and work on the package of fabrics that arrived this week.
 

The fabric line is called Far Horizons designed by David Shultz.  Click HERE to see the entire line up close on the Henry Glass website. The line is inspired by the colors of Australia, the country David calls home.  David made my Country Sunshine pattern, so we have a little bit of a history of commenting on each others work on Instagram.  David is very creative, and I was delighted when ...
