Timeless Stitches

 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 got BIG plans for this collection, especially since I won’t be juggling the demands of a block-of-the-month. Time to let the creativity flow.

I love working with the talented graphic artist and staff at Marcus Fabrics.  There have been many ZOOM calls and iterations discussing each numbered SKU until we got it just right.  Numbers 4, 6 and 9 are recolored from my Gentry's Mill line. The graphic artist reworked #6 to make the dots smaller and closer together. 

This stripe fabric had humble beginnings when I discovered it tucked away in the archives of the Smithsonian. When I first shared it with the team at Marcus Fabrics, they were understandably skeptical about including it in the line. But they trusted me, stood by my vision, and the graphic artist brought it to life.

And here is the end result, which is so sweet, gentle and different.

I'm showing a close-up of this SKU so you can see the look of 'netting' around the flowers adding texture.

Here are two of my favorites.  We should have named them 'pearl clutching'!

I’ll be offering kits for this 90" x 90" quilt, and while they won’t ship until the first quarter of 2026.....it’ll be here before we know it! To help me plan fabric orders, I’d love to get a sense of interest. If you think you might want a kit, just drop me a quick email at sewnwildoaks@gmail.com. No prepayment, no deposit...just a note to say “I’m interested.” Pricing is still TBD, as I’ll need to factor in potential tariff changes.

As soon as I get the quilt made and quilted, I'll be shipping her off to Hobby House Needleworks in Victor, NY where I will be teaching this quilt next May. They will be posting information about my class soon. They will also be making kits for the quilt. I will also be doing my humorous trunk show the day before the class. 

There’s been a flurry of activity here under the pines at Sew’n Wild Oaks. New fabric lines blooming, kits in the works, preparations underway for the Independence Hall Quilt Faire, and the final retreat of the year just around the corner. It’s the kind of creative whirlwind that has me dreaming in quilts long after the lights go out.

Soon,

Lynn
