Meet Beary Wild & Wonderful SAL Block #9

Beary is finally out of hibernation and he couldn't be happier!

Those of you who belong to the Wild & Wonderful FB group can download the pattern for free until June 12th, 2021.  You will find it in the files on the group page.

There is still time to join us on the Wild & Wonderful SAL.  Simply visit the Wild & Wonderful FB group page and request to join.  Wild & Wonderful SAL FB Page

If you are interested in a printed pattern, kit or thread kits or bears please visit my Etsy store:  Shop Here

Beary lives in Northwest Montana very close to Glacier National Park.  If you wonder why he has that smile on his face, it's because huckleberry season is just around the corner!

When I first moved to Montana, I picked huckleberries and sold them to restaurants and grocery stores. And yes, I ran into a bear or two while picking them.

Some fun facts about Huckleberries:

Grow wild in the northwestern USA, western Canada. Alaska and Idaho.

 Ripen in mid to late summer and peak in August.

When purchased fresh, expect to pay $65.00 a lb.

They are so delicious in pies and milkshakes!

Their high sugar content helps bears store fat for the winter.

This Wild & Wonderful Stitch A Long has been so fun to participate in.  All 9 of the participating designers enjoyed it so much  We sure hope you did too! We loved it so much, we are planning the

 Wild & Wonderful Under the Harvest Moon next! We hope you will join us!  Stay tuned for more details!

Coming Soon!

UPDATE: Wild & Wonderful Mystery Stitch~A~Long

 

Hello ~ Hello Stitchers,

This post is a little late in coming, but here it is!  I am in a new FB Mystery Stitch-A-Long with 8 other magical designers called Wild & Wonderful.  There are 9 blocks in this SAL.  The SAL started in April and every Saturday a new design is revealed. Saturday, May 8th, 2021, Block #6 will be revealed.

You can join the FB group by clicking here Wild & Wonderful SAL and ask to join.  Once approved you can download all the designs (for free) that have been revealed so far in the files.  You also have the option of going to the designers website and purchase their fabric kits, notions and threads.  

Here are the designs that have been revealed so far:

The finishing kit is a masterpiece!  Lydia Middaugh did an amazing job.  Here is a sneak peek.

UPDATE: Here is the finished design!

Isn't it grand?

You don't have to purchase anything to participate.  You certainly can use your own fabrics, notions and embellishments.  But it is nice to know that purchasing the materials is an option. The designers that have revealed their designs, still have kits available.  And the designers that have not revealed their designs, you can purchase a preorder.  They will ship the kits out three days prior to their reveal date.

 I am offering a printed pattern, fabric kit and thread kit in the Woolin Rouge Designs Etsy Shop. 

This SAL has been so fun to participate in.  The 8 designers I am working with are so very talented, humble and kind.  They have a true passion for what they do.  And the other thing that makes it extra special is that the cotton fabrics we are using for the backgrounds and borders is from Diamond Textiles.  Diamond Textiles and woolens go hand in hand.  

Keep in mind the cutoff date for the free patterns is June 19th, 2021.  After that date, you can purchase the patterns in each of the designers stores.

Update: free patterns are no longer available.  But you can purchase the patterns, kit and notions at each participating designers website.

I hope you join us!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me, at woolinrougedesigns@gmail.com.

Cheers to Creativity!
