I'm excited to show you my latest quilt pattern...| Log Cabin Quiltery
I thought I'd show the adorable fabric I'm using for the body of the Baby Butterflies. It's from Bee Basics by Lori Holt for Riley Blake. Don't any of you go getting any ideas...I'm gonna buy it all up because it is so very, very cute!| Log Cabin Quiltery
I know it's been a while and, with Instagram, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore...but I miss blogging. So here is a post about a project I started last week!| Log Cabin Quiltery
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I had a busy end of the school year. I was actually done teaching at the end of April because I had a surgery scheduled for early May. That took a while to recover from...but now I'm doing well and I'm ready to move on to something new....and I retired from teaching, don't forget that part!!| Log Cabin Quiltery
I jumped on the pineapple block bandwagon and made a cute little mini quilt!| Log Cabin Quiltery
I recently purchased about a yard and half of a Riley Blake Modern Minis panel print fabric. The panel was a series of 4" squares punctuated with cute little sayings. I quickly cut the panel apart into squares and matched up two colored squares with one text square. I cut the colored squares in half diagonally and then attached them to the top/bottom and left/right sides of the text square. I was able to trim them up to 5.5" x 5.5" squares.| Log Cabin Quiltery
After making a bunch of green shamrocks from my Mini Shamrock Tutorial, I decided to try out a rainbow version. This little block soon became a favorite and now I'm addicted to making them from my huge scrap pile...The squares are cut 2" and finish at 1.5". The whole block is 6.5" unfinished!| Log Cabin Quiltery
During an online search for a shamrock pattern, I found this shamrock tutorial from QuiltingWorks.com, but it was for a 12.5" x 12.5" block. I thought the basic idea was great and decided to scale it down to a 6.5" x 6.5" unfinished block. I would love to ask permission from QuiltingWorks, but I can't find a way to contact them and it seemed to be a free tutorial with no credit given to the original designer. I've seen other blocks like it from other sources, so I doubt it is a truly un...| Log Cabin Quiltery
In January I started a little EPP project for Valentine's Day using enlongated hexagons and squares. It will be a mini-quilt when it is finished, measuring 22" x 22". There will be 5 x 5 "x"s...25 total.| Log Cabin Quiltery
I've been busy with work lately, but I did have a chance to do some longarm quilting on a little project. I just did swirls...nothing fancy...| Log Cabin Quiltery
I dug out my bucket of Valentine's Day fabric and made a few mug rugs this weekend. Two for me and Rebecca... | Log Cabin Quiltery
After my Extra Credit jelly roll log cabin pattern, I always meant to make another quilt block with little pieces--but from layer cake squares. I recently got inspired by these mug rugs that I use every day and basically ignored for years....lol. The corner piece finishes at 2" x 2" and the logs finished at 1" wide.| Log Cabin Quiltery
I received a free mini charm pack of Sew & Sew fabric by Chloe's Closet when I made an online fabric order. After watching it sit on my sewing table for a few months, I finally decided to make something practical with it...a zippered, vinyl front bag.| Log Cabin Quiltery
First of all, Happy Holidays to the five people who are following me ;-) LOL...I seriously need to post more frequently--I think I'd leave myself after so much neglect!!| Log Cabin Quiltery
I decided to pull some vintage sheet 10" x 10" squares and 5" x 5" squares and make a reboot of my Maybellene quilt pattern. I used Kona Ice Frappe for the background fabric...I've also decided to add some "alternate sizes" to my pattern. I'll upload them here for anyone to download who already purchased the pattern. And I'll add in these fabric requirements to any future pattern downloads.| Log Cabin Quiltery
I've been meaning to get a couple of nice pics outside with these quilts...but time slips away and I fail to gather up some items for picture time. Today, however, I scoped out a place at the park to hang a clothes line and Rebecca helped me get some decent pics...| Log Cabin Quiltery
On the heels of finishing my other EPP project (photos later), I pulled out my Kaffe EPP quilt the other day. I still need to add in the last four rows of stars...but here it is on the floor last night.| Log Cabin Quiltery
We are enjoying the week off here at my house...the school district gave all of us (teachers and students) the whole week off this year! This is the first time for this in the 40+ years I've worked/gone to school in Las Vegas. I got a chance to take some pics of my red and khaki Gypsy quilt on the porch today...| Log Cabin Quiltery
I don't know why it took me so long to finish writing this quilt pattern. I made the first prototype back in February of 2016, another in June and the final one in September. Work got in the way and I dropped the ball at getting it finished...but here it is!! Gypsy is available in my Etsy shop...| Log Cabin Quiltery
I started this quilt in August (see this post for details) and I've been working on it (slowly) ever since...making little 3.5" zeros and ones. Today, after pressing some blocks I made yesterday, I realized I had more than enough to make the quilt!! Yeah... Here it is on the floor...| Log Cabin Quiltery
I'm still doing some EPP in the evenings. My jewel flower project is coming along.... I arranged all the pieces on the floor on October 1st and took a pic so that I would know how I wanted all the hexagon blocked placed.| Log Cabin Quiltery
When Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms fabric line originally came out, I didn't realize how awesome it was. Several years later I saw a few quilts online made from Soul Blossoms fabric and managed to find a yard of each of the prints in the collection. I've been hoarding them for years, only making an occasional quilt or bag from them. I knew that my new Gypsy pattern would be perfect for this beautiful fabric....| Log Cabin Quiltery
One thing I have been continuously working on is my EPP project. I'm short about 6 more hexagon blocks and the 8 half blocks for the sides, but I'm getting there... Most of the fabric was from the Summerfest line of fabric (with a few of my own added in for variety). I still love precuts!!| Log Cabin Quiltery
I just love binary code quilts. Remember when I did this one, for my son Ryan?? It spells Ryan ###### (our last name) in binary code vertically. We think it is kind of cool that it just looks like a random pattern of blocks to most people, but it really means something to us. | Log Cabin Quiltery
A big HELLO to anyone who made the switch from the old blog! Thanks for following me...| Log Cabin Quiltery
