A genuine old log cabin set on a hill along Boswell Run Road in Pike County, Ohio, A neighbor told me she thought it was the second cabin built on this scenic road, probably in the middle or early 1800's.

I took this photo in early April last year; it looks the same today.
A friend of mine is building this log cabin. He is into this Historical era completely. Abraham Lincoln is his hero.

My father finished building this log cabin in October, 1938 in the Yarnell community in Sawyer County Wisconsin. It's where my parents lived the first years of their marriage and where two sons were born. The cabin is lived in and still looks solid after about 75 years, doesn't it? I think the Shrock family gets the credit for it's maintenance.
A few ladies at my church wanted to learn to quilt, so with some prodding from me, my mother-in-law is heading up a Quilting 101 course. Instead of asking newbie quilters to complete a 'major' project on their own, we decided to do a group quilt to present to a gal from church who is going through a battle with cancer.
My MIL chose the log cabin because it's beginner-friendly, yet lends itself well to complex layout designs. She pieced teeny-tiny 2" gold tulips for the center of each cabin ---- teal is Sandy's favorite color (which is a good thing, 'cause this quilt is quite heavy on it!) We met as a group on 5 different occasions and taught the basic of quilting, from the quarter inch seam to rotary cutting, tying a quilt, and hand-stitching a binding. A little homework and this quilt was ready to present to Sandy on Easter Sunday, 2011.

Log Cabin Afghan a la Mason Dixon Knitting.
I have 20 squares so far. This is enough for a small throw. The yarn is Sugar 'n Cream which I used because it is cheap and comes in a lot of colors. I've only seen this yarn used to make dishcloths so I am a bit nervous about how this will turn out.
Any advice on how to join knit afghan squares?

Monday I worked on this for about an hour only to be met with some HUGE puckers on the back, so I spent about three hours unpicking and I'm fairly certain I went blind in the process.
A couple of hours on Tuesday and Dan said that he was going to go insane if he heard the sewing machine run for any longer (I have to move to the kitchen table to quilt as my desk in the garage isn't big enough to support the weight fully) and it had to go on hold until Declan was back at preschool on Friday.
I'm trying out washing before binding, I read about it somewhere and now can't find it to reference. I'm glad I'm nearing the end, only the binding to stitch on, but I'm oddly excited to get started on Connor's red and yellow version.
This is the back. 4 fat quarters, 1/2yd. chunk and some leftovers from the front. I love pieced backings.
I have been quilting for around 7 years. This is the first quilt I have finished for me.
I bought these batiks during our trip to IL and I just love them. Because they are all about the same color/ hues there isn't as much of a contrast as I would have liked. It has not been quilted yet as I'm thinking about using metallic thread to quilt it. It's a log cabin wall hanging, barn raising layout. I used the same fabric for the "light" side of the log cabin. On the "dark" side I used three different fabrics. The two borders were also different fabrics.
Victor needed a smaller Oma Blanket for Travelling - this is a 45 cm square with a loop to drag it along...
Handsewn log cabin in the old fashioned press method (with a cloth backing); it gives it a really nice texture. Work in progress as I'm making it a king-sized!
I won this Xmas challenge quilt from our local guild. Each person made a block and entered the draw. I never win anything!! I think it will live on my sofa, once I put a back on it... maybe something in red or gold....
- 13.5" square
- Inspired by these blocks
- Various turquoise, teal, gold, and gray prints
- Bound in gray Heath by Alexander Henry
- Backed in Kona coal + scraps

This would have been my mother's kitchen from 1942 until 1949. Remember during this time the Great Depression had just ended and WWII was taking place. She recieved the dreaded telegram that her husband had been killed in the Far East and she was left with three children. She would in a short while marry the brother of that husband. He was six years younger and would also go off to war. The younger man would end up being my father. The balsam rafters are the original rafters, the walls are the original logs. The cabin was taken apart, logs, rafters were numbered and it was moved to its' present site. The water pail would freeze each night in the kitchen because of lack of insulation.
My friends and I took a spur-of-the-moment day-trip and went to this abandoned cabin. It was obvious that it hasn't been lived in when we look inside. I thought it was a pretty nice cabin, though.
Andrew and Jennifer have two 11' x 17' cabins on their property near Healy AK, one of which we took over for a couple of weeks (Thanks, Kevin, who temporarily found other quarters for our sake!). It was so quiet and peaceful there, except for the hordes of mosquitoes! Even the natives said the June, 2013 mosquito season was one of the worst they'd ever seen.
Here, on our first morning, Sherry is checking her Facebook account. Since I met her in 1975 I don't think I've ever seen her so relaxed as she was during our time there.
