Sew'n Wild Oaks Retreat Day Three

 Hello Everyone,

Here's another mini quilt show produced by the Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilters. This show is so good, I think I should charge admission.  Enjoy!

Some of the girls took a break for a walk around Snowflake Lake and enjoyed seeing the dogwood.

Today is our last full day and it will be filled with label making, a Stardance tutorial, group picture, cabin tour, more eating, more drinking, and yes there will be a whole lot of quilting going on!

Soon,

Lynn

Sew Wild Oaks Retreat Day Two

 Hello Everyone,

We had a great day Monday at the retreat.  Beautiful blue skies and no snow in the forecast.....only laughter, chatting, eating and lots of quilting.  Here are just a few pictures from the show and tell. There were ooooh's and aaaah's when Angie displayed her quilt.

This is Sue's version of Country Charmer.

Sue loves fall and really decks out her entire house with her Fall quilts.

The next two quilts were made from Taimi's grandchildren's clothing.  Both quilts were presented to Taimi's daughter on her 40th birthday.

Gail's Winterset on steroids.

The next two pictures are both wool projects.

This is a suitcase cover.  Carol found a place where you can download your own artwork and turn it into a personalized suitcase cover. You will always be able to find your case out of a cast of thousands.

Kristi did a deep clean in her garage and found the next two projects which she had totally forgotten about.

This is Carolyn's fish quilt surrounded by pinwheels.

Here is Charolotte's stunning pineapple quilt.  Zoom in so you can see her fabulous quilting.

Lori loves to make bags, and she showed us several of her creations.

I love this picture of Cindy's hands in the art of creation.

This group of women is such a joy to be around—fun, kind, and genuinely caring. I've had a fantastic time over the past two days, and I can't wait to share more wonderful moments with them today.

Lynn

Sew'n Wild Oaks Retreat Day One

 Hello Everyone,

We hit the ground running yesterday for the beginning of the first Sew'n Wild Oaks Retreat for 2025.  Design walls went up around the room.

Tables with electrical were set up.

Then the tables were quickly filled with quilters and all of their supplies.

Product was on display.

The lecture area is ready for the first mini session this morning.

The first class is an introduction to Lucy Boston and English paper-piecing.

Friends helping friends.

More friends and roommates.  

On another note, I received a comment on my blog post about tariffs.  I was just expressing my views and immediate facts on how the tariffs are impacting me, a small business owner.  I moderate the comments and there was one comment which I didn't publish.  I will not publish any comments favoring or disfavoring the current or past president. PERIOD.  I was just explaining how the tariffs are impacting me and my small business. Enough said.

Now let's get back to quilting.

Soon,

Lynn
