Welcome to the home of Eugene and
Marilyn Withrow -- Whispering Winds Ranch and "The Quilted Rooster" -- our
quilting studio -- located on Hwy. 266 East 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 also accept
some quilts and/or tops for minor repair and renovation. 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.
