@slcorbett1 created this pretty quilt using my popular "Boomerang" pattern. She added a colorful border (I love to see artistic license at work!❤️ ) Congrats on the finish. It looks really nice and I'm very honored that you chose a pattern from my studio! 🙂

If you want to make your own #boomerang quilt you can ask for the pattern at your local quilt shop, visit my web store or find my patterns at @checkerdistributors and @eeschenck (wholesale orders welcome!) #glendawilderdesigns #modernquilting #fabulousfinish #thanksforsharing #quilting #quilter #sewing #quiltsofinstagram #batiks

Progress on my pattern #FlyAwayHome in #Terra fabr

Progress on my pattern #FlyAwayHome in #Terra fabric from @windhamfabrics. I am so in love with this earthy combo! ❤️ It may be Mother's Day today (happy, happy to all the moms) but that also means Father's Day is just around the corner! Wouldn't this color pallette be great for Dad? There's time to sew one up and I won't spoil the surprise 🥳

This yummy collection, appropriately named #Terra

This yummy collection, appropriately named #Terra from #whistlerstudios for @windhamfabrics is coming together in another sample of my latest pattern, #FlyAwayHome. I love the idea of earth theme fabric and sky theme patten coming together in harmony!
The Fly Away Home pattern is available at quilt shops or at my website store and is distributed, along with other #glendawilderdesigns patterns by @checkerdistributors and #eeschenck.
Happy sewing!

The last of nearly 300 masks have been made and will be donated this week. I'm so happy to have joined my fellow sewists everywhere in this global outreach during uncertain times. Thanks to everyone who's done their bit, whether that's 1 or 1000 (or more!) The happy floral fabric shown today is #fiddledeedee feom @meandmysisterdesigns

Feeling lost in the stay-at-home sea? How about quilting my #stitchinprime pattern with this beautiful panel from @3wishesfabrics featuring #lighthouses to guide you (at least in spirit) as we ride out this #pandemic period of "isewlation?" #glendawilderdesigns

I love it when the backing made of project leftovers becomes a unique, secondary composition! I proudly used it all on this 48" sample of my "Fly Away Home" patten featuring @modafabrics @zenchicmoda #breeze fabric. Pattern now available through @checkerdistributors , @eeschenck and at your favorite quilt shop - they're all open online and, depending on your location, for curbside pickup! (Of course, you can also order a copy at my website.) #glendawilderdesigns #curbsidepickup #quiltshops #supportsmallbusiness #checker #eeschenck #moda #zenchic # originalpatterns #stayathomesewing #isewlation #flyawayhome #quilter #quilting

Every quilter needs an "I can make it in an afternoon" pattern for last minute gifts or for charity quilts. My soon to be released new pattern "Sticks N Stones" is a great option! I cut out and put this sample (featuring @modafabrics #grunge and @artgalleryfabrics #Capsules #raise the volume) together in an evening! Can't wait to get it quilted and take some glamour shots. (...and yes, that's another empty @aurifilthread spool. I have been putting some serious miles on my @pfaffsewing machine during quarantine!) #glendawilderdesigns #originalpatterns #originaldesigns #fasttofinish #bigblockquilts #insetseamsdontscareme #moda #agf #artalleryfabrics #twocolorquilts #charityquilts #comingsoon #sticksnstones

Empty @aurifilthread spools tell no lies. Even with 230+ face covers sent out Into the world, there is still other creative work in play. Stay tuned for new things from #glendawilderdesigns . Also stay home and stay well! (And sew! You've got this!) #originalpatterns #aurafill #stayathome #stopthespread #quilters #quilting #sewiat #sewing

It's only a flimsy, but I'm loving the "make fabric" in my soon to be released new pattern "Sticks N Stones." Need a super fast scrap buster? This may be for you - watch for it!

Today's project is "making fabric" from the scrap

Today's project is "making fabric" from the scrap bin. It is extremely therapeutic to sew mindlessly and quite a trip down memory lane as I see bits and pieces from past creations. My upcoming pattern "Sticks N Stones" will feature an opportunity to showcase large scale prints or scrap fabric just like I'm building today.

Like so many others, I've been busy sewing masks. This batch is to fill a specific request from a health care worker I know. Porch pick up planned, of course, because we all need to keep our distance and do our part to support #socialdistancing. Stay home and stay well!

The last half-square triangle and a big ol' pile of trimmings...now that's gratifying! The smaller sized sample of my #designershoos pattern featuring @modafabrics #summersweet by #sherriandchelsi should come together this evening. I'm loving the look and will share soon!

Got scraps? I bet you are generating lots of them during this #stayhome #stopthespread
#flattenthecurve period! I think my latest pattern "Fly Away Home" would be a great Scrappy project and can hardly wait to dig into my own scrap pile to make another version of this fun and easy-to-make design. Available now online and at @itseamstobeaew (they are doing curbside pickup) and available soon through @checkerdistributors and @eeschenck!

BEFORE social distancing and other virus avoidance routines were in place (please DO #stopthespread #stayathome #flattenthecurve #fightcovid19 #stopcoronavirus )
@lettyb503 shared her blue, yellow and white version of my #DesignerShoos pattern with the @arapahoecountyquilters.
I thought it would be nice to share a pic of her beautiful version while we are all home being responsible and presumably, quilting. Be well!

Some @modafabrics #summersweet is under my needle today. I'm testing a new, smaller version of my "Designer Shoos" pattern and will make the new size cutting chart available for free download as soon as I've confirmed the accuracy of my math. It's sure nice to have a little fabric therapy after a crazy, busy week! What are you working on today?

Hi, I'm Glenda of Glenda Wilder Designs. #igquiltf

Hi, I'm Glenda of Glenda Wilder Designs. #igquiltfest2020 is a great time to tell you a little more about me. My first quilt , circa 1977 (and technically still a UFO) was a Sunbonnet Sue hand appliqued project featuring scrap fabrics from garments I'd made for myself while growing up sewing. I made a few other quilts along the way using cereal box templates and scissors but wow, have the tools and my design taste changed since then! My habit of cutting up perfectly good fabric and sewing it back together has morphed into a passion for designing patterns, teaching, and supporting the global quilting community that inspires me daily. I am so grateful for the makers in my life who continually amaze me with their talent and support me with their spirit of encouragement and positivity! Thanks to each of the friends and talented creators who make me a better version of my own creative self! ❤️

Sending the completed file for my new "Fly Away Ho

Sending the completed file for my new "Fly Away Home" pattern to the printer is a great way to kick off National Quilting Month! Hard copies should be ready in about a week. Yay!
How did YOU kick off the month?
