Welcome to the new home of Eugene and Marilyn Withrow -- Whispering Winds Ranch and "The Quilted Rooster" -- our quilting studio -- located near the historic town of Checotah, Oklahoma.
I am a Professional Quilt Appraiser, Professional Quilt Show Judge, Quilt and Fabric
Historian, Quilt Designer, Teacher and Speaker on quilt-related topics. I travel extensively
to guilds and shows, giving programs, judging, doing quilt appraisals, and seeing beautiful quilts. Several of my quilt-related
articles have been published in various state, regional and national publications.
My husband Eugene travels with me, loads and unloads tubs of quilts and supplies, and makes sure all
my quilting equipment is ready and working when I need it. He also creates beautiful embroidered quilt blocks, monograms
and other designs on our embroidery machine, and keeps our longarm quilting machine operating properly. (He's even quilted
some beautiful quilts -- usually just when it's raining and he can't be outside doing cowboy things on the ranch.)
My programs are described in the following pages, as well as some tips on quilt care, what to do and,
more importantly, what NOT to do when you have an old quilt and want to preserve it.
If you have a question about quilting and it's not answered in these pages, please contact me and I'll try
to remedy that situation. If I don't have the answer, I'll find it!
Contact me if you'd like to schedule a program or learn more about my programs, classes, quilt appraisals,
quilt show judging, or anything quilt-related that interests you.
