Quilt Canada 2016

Primitive Log Cabin

A lot has happened since I started this blog, in fact I knew I needed a presence on the web when this was in the works.  I have some exciting news to share and it is time to blog about it.  Last spring I applied to teach a workshop at Quilt Canada 2016 http://www.canadianquilter.com
and I am thrilled to say that one of my quilts was chosen.

Primitive Log Cabin is made on a flannel foundation, the flannel  becomes the batting.  The quilt top is washed in extremely hot water and sometimes; if the quilter chooses, it can be over dyed to give it an instant aged look.

This quilt is made in stripes and plaids but it is not over dyed.

I have great plans to make a modern low volume version of Primitive Log Cabin as a sample for the class. I have been collecting fabrics over the summer and in the next
few weeks I will be starting to work on it.
It looks like my fabric group will need a little editing. I hope to squeeze in a few more selections from my stash.

I admired my friend Shirley's quilt, which she hung at Quilts at the Creek  this past summer.

This is a picture of her quilt hanging at Quilts at the Creek. If you have never been, this spectacular outdoor quilt show happens every year in July and is well worth attending.  It is held at Black Creek Pioneer Village.  Check out the photos in the blog   https://quiltsatthecreek.wordpress.com


Shirley kindly gave me a few inches of some of the lighter colours of fabric that she used in her quilt so I now have quite a stash to start with.

Watch for posts of my progress in the next few weeks.
