What's happening at Wilder's Last Resort

 Hello Everyone,

I'm happy to announce that my friend Melissa, from Honeybee Fabrics is going to offer my Timeless quilt as a BOM and as a kit! You can register for her program HERE.

The program will start in May, and she is also setting up a Timeless Facebook page which I will be monitoring along with Melissa to answer any of your questions and post tutorials.  Melissa runs a good, affordable program and I encourage you to sign up with her.  While on her site, check out her other BOM programs.

The first month's tutorial is the center medallion of the quilt beginning with a square in a square.  If you had issues in the past making them, the tutorial will help you iron out any of your past issues and you will enjoy the process. I have LOVED working with my new fabric line, Timeless Stitches by Marcus Fabrics.

The entire line is so much like Spring exploding in my sewing room!

The tutorial also covers making the double flying geese. And there are lots of the little ones!

At night, because I just can't be idle, I'm working on a project that doesn't have a name or an end result, I'm just having fun with the process.

My first retreat of the year begins the last week of April, and I've been deciding what to teach.  I love working with wool, and I've always wanted to recreate the top section of my Harvest of Hope quilt into a wool table runner.  I brought the image into my computer and added scallops to the border.

Here is a picture of the entire quilt, which would look fabulous in wool, but I'm just going to concentrate on the top portion.  It's never too early to start working on projects for Fall!

I've also submitted everything to Marcus Fabrics for a new Christmas fabric line which was approved immediately by management.  The line will be unveiled this Fall with a shipping date of next year, just in time to start a new Christmas BOM for Marcus Fabrics.  My poor little pea brain has been drowning in ideas swimming around in it day and night.  Let me just say there is a fantastic plaid or two in the line. 

On a personal note, Mr. Joe is still having health issues.  He's had a lot of doctors' appointments as they are trying to understand what's wrong and how to help him.  Keeping him well-nourished and trying to keep his spirits up has become a full-time occupation. You know what they say about old age is not for the faint of heart. 

Soon,

Lynn
