Log Cabin

I just had to share this beautiful quilt a friend of mine made and then had it quilted by
a group of ladies that meet every Tues. to quilt and the money they raise is used to help out
the church . I am a member of that group and we have such a great time together .I have
only been a member since around May of last year,before that time I had never worked on
a quilt frame and had done minimal hand quilting so it has been a learning curve for me and I have learned so much from these
wonderful quilters and had lots of great fellowship as well . We have one member who is 93, such a sweet heart and so full of life,she always makes us laugh unfortunately about a month ago now she fell and broke her hip , we sure miss her and are looking forward to her return as soon as she is up and running again. We completed this quilt yesterday
after a total of 155 hours of work .I never realized how much quilting is involved with a log
cabin quilt but it truly is my all time favorite pattern . Isn't this stunning !!I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work on it ! Too bad I don't get to keep this on my bed ;-)
Thanks for stopping by. Sheila

  1. What a beautiful quilt! I've always wanted to make one, but haven't had time. Seeing this one finished has inspired me to save up for some awesome fabric and get it done! :)
