Log Cabin Block

And since I had all my blocks made quite awhile ago, I made another one and quilted to 

so I could walk you through it.

And also since I leave for Market today it's going to be mainly pictures.

Trace patterns on Freezer Paper and cut them out on the line.  

Then iron them onto your fabric.

Cut fabric out with a 1/4" seam allowance, lay the fabric on your 

sandpaper board and trace around the pattern.

 This is your stitching line.

Baste the logs under  along stitching line.

Baste edges of chimney under on the top and sides.

Baste under top of roof and sew chimney to the roof.

Baste sides and top of door.

Dot logs with appli-glue using a toothpick.  Try

to keep the glue away from your basting stitches.

Sew logs in place and add door.

Baste window on all 4 sides.

Baste under top of hill

and dot with glue under stitching.

Appliqué hill to background and roof to cabin.

Dot back of cabin with glue.

And since I'm going to hand quilt this block I cut out back of hill.

If you're making the block for your bigger quilt and it's going to 

be quilted on a machine, this isn't necessary.

Quilt as desired and bind.

Sew a sleeve on the back for your hanger.

Make a comment, any comment you like and next week when

I get back from Market, I'll have the random number generator pick one to

win a kit including a hanger.

The hanger will NOT BE A Star

 IT WILL BE A Heart.

I just didn't get them ordered in time for the picture.  

I'll post the picture with the heart hanger next week.

For now, lets go see what the other designers have done with the block.

Starz

We had some visitors this week 

Debbi & Laura from Virginia were out shop hopping and came by.

We don't really have a shop - I just have my studio in the loft -

but if you're in the area and want to stop by and say hello,

you're always welcome.

Today is an auspicious day.

As of 7:00 o'clock tonight Pep and I 

have been married 48 years.

Wow!

I've almost been married the whole time I've been alive - give or take a few years.

Anyway - 

To celebrate - we're having a sale.

48% off selected kits.

We've gotten to the point where we have a lot of kits that we only have one or two of.

It's really not worth having a sale when you only have one or two kits but when you have a lot of kits where you only have one or two - it's a good time to put them all on sale.

Some of these are bigger kits and even if you don't want to make the quilt, they're worth it just to get the fabric.

So hop on over to the store by clicking here

and then come back and see what the other ladies have done with Jo's block.

Dutchman's Puzzle

It's been a really good week.

First and foremost my Sycamore fabric line came in and with it the kits

for Coxcombs and Pomegranates.

Most of them are spoken for as we took preorders but we 

ordered a few extra and you can still get 

one by clicking here.

The Halloween Table Stand quilt "Dark & Stormy" is in the store

and ready to ship.

And I had so many requests for another Dresden Turkey Kit that I designed
another one.  I do love my little turkey.
You can get both of them by clicking here.

Right now I'm getting ready to drive back from Lincoln Nebraska where I had a delightful
time giving a lecture and teaching a workshop to the
Lincoln Quilt Guild.

Here I am with my workshop ladies.
Thank you very much all of you for such a nice time.

Now lets go see what the other designers have done with Betsy's Block.

Dot Dash

To download Lynne's pattern click here.

I just got back from Golden, Colorado filming 

a series of lessons on Needleturn Appliqué.

As I really don't like flying,  I drove,  so

 this is going to be very short.

It went well - I had a great time 

and

I am very tired.

Lets go see what the other designers did with Lynne's block.
