The log cabin

I know many of you have already seen this elsewhere, but I wanted to post the finished log cabin quilt I made for my parents for Christmas, now that they’ve finally seen it.

 I quilted this with a Valdani hand dyed cotton thread, 35wt, which is pretty chunky.  I used a blended deep gold, as I really wanted the quilting to stand out.  The pantograph I used is called “Clematis” by Willow Leaf Studio, you can view it by scrolling down on this page.  The label was embroidered on my Bernina 830. 

 

I tried to get a picture of my parents holding the quilt outside, but it was too windy and too sunny, and the picture didn’t turn out, so these will have to do.

 I made my mom a zippered pouch and a couple of free standing lace bookmarks. 

And another for a friend, along with more bookmarks and a snowflake.

Jim loved his robe and handkerchiefs, and now I’m ready to start another quilt project!
