We get calls everyday from our customers saying they made this or that from our pattern line. Well, we would love to see your wool creations and post them on our web site! We want you to share photos of your projects with us and other wool lovers.
Please send us your photo in an attachment to barb@wildthymespatternco.com. Be sure to send a little info about yourself and why you chose to make your particular wool project. As with any web page, we can't guarantee your project will be "posted", but we will try to give all of the pictures a rotation. Keep checking back. We will change the pictures periodically and will try to keep a fun variety for you to view.

"I changed a few of the blocks a little bit and completely re-designed the trumpet flower block with a new arrangement and a hummingbird. The setting and the border are my own design but the flowers are based on elements from your blocks. I love the quilt and get many compliments on it. Thank you so much for the beautiful designs. Cheers! Miriam" Miriam from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada |

She is responsible for the #012, "Night Moves" block in our Original Block-of-the-Month Quilt.

"Hi, my name is Tese and I am delighted to share with you a photo of my 7th shoulder bag. I fell in love with using felted wool as a fabric medium 3 years ago when I made the Wild Thymes "Pinchusion"! Since that time, I have made a number of their great designs adding my own embellishments and personal touches as well as improving my stitching abilities and expanding my creative talents." |

“The Quilt House Co. LTD” in Seoul, Korea stitched our "Irish Rose". Please note the different application of making a pillow instead of framing the design. We LOVE to see our customer’s personal inspiration and like to encourage everyone to adapt our designs for themselves. | ||||||||||

Liz finished her BOM quilt and is entering it in the Dallas Quilt Show. She said, "I added a couple of bluebirds to get more color as I erred early on by not using the bright greens provided in the kits. Thanks for your encouragement through the years, it was a fun project." I remember Liz coming into our booth in Houston and literally vibrating when she saw the quilt. I will never forget her response and delight in purchasing the kits for herself. I don't think she realized the pleasure she gave me, it was like a gift and I thank her for that. |

Glenda and Sharon are two of my original (1999) “Wool Group” members. They have been with me from the VERY beginning of Wild Thymes. I have chosen several of their BOM blocks to share with you so you can see the beautiful choice of colors and embroidery stitches these two women have stitched.
Sharon was a complete (embroidery) beginner when we started this project (that is another story) and Glenda is an accomplished needle artist with several awards to her name. I consider both of these women sisters of my heart. |

Ellen is a true success story! Her quilt is finished! What more can we say? She started the quilt a few years ago and as you can see, perseverance has paid off. The added touches of beautiful embroidery stitches and the leaf & vine border truly make this quilt unique. She states that she is ready to start her next wool quilt and how much she enjoyed making this one. Thanks Ellen, you made my day! | ||||||||||

Linda was working on her first Wild Thymes pattern, the “Glenda's Garden” block when a friend mentioned it looked like an “O”, the first letter in Linda’s last name. The block soon became a monogram and is now finished and hanging on her living room wall, they call it “The O”. It is so nice to see our patterns being used for individual projects. Keep up the good work Linda! | ||||||||||

“I can’t resist sending photos of my Wild Thymes Wall Quilts”, stated wool appliquer Margaret from Canada. She chose to make 3 vertical panels and won viewer’s choice recently at a quilt show in British Columbia! Yeah Margaret!
Margaret took our advice and changed some of the blocks to make them her own designs. She says “this is a project that is easily personalized as one becomes more comfortable with the technique”. Thank you Margaret for sharing with our Wild Thymes customers. |

“Earth’s Laughter” by our friend Ellen is simply awesome! Her use of color and stunning embroidery stitching is over and above the normal blanket stitch! By changing the flower colors to reflect her personal preferences, Ellen has truly made this quilt her own. Ellen is one of Wild Thymes original customers from our very beginning. Thanks Ellen for sharing “Earth’s Laughter”! | ||||||||||
