Hello & Happy New Year!
I am so excited about all the good stuff we are planning in the shop these next few months. I will do my very best to keep you posted with fun photos. Last month Kathleen and her remarkable students made some pretty incredible log cabin quilts ~ inspired by the Modern Log Cabin Quilting book, which I highly recommend - both the book and the class. Check out the all the log cabin happiness ~
Laurie's Log Cabin - So pretty!
Tillie's lovely log cabin - can't wait to see it quilted!
GIna's log cabin - can't believe how amazing this looks... only 2 fabrics used!
Barbara's masterpiece log cabin - she used baby whale corduroy for the blue - Awesome!
Kathleen's work of art - made with Amy Butler's Organic Soul and Lime green corduroy! Wow, right?
This is the quilt back to Kathleen's Wow! quilt. I love it, don't you?

I know you want to make a log cabin now, don't you? This class is not on the New Schedule, but Sue will be teaching a very cool String Quilt and also a Super Star quilt class this month - perfect scrap buster opportunity. Call me.
