Rural life in the 1870s is depicted on the Homestead Farm at the Chippewa Nature Center, near Midland, Michigan. I was pleased with the way that this log cabin interior scene came out, given that it was shot from outside through a dirty glass window.

Mais uma ... fiz o quilt a mão a partir de um risco de stencil. Os tecidos manchados são importados.
a modified log cabin. i am trying to experiment more with my creations. i'm really happy with the way this one turned out.
This log cabin was at one of the vineyards we stopped at. The second floor and the back section were added sometime after the original house was built. Makes me soooo glad I'm living today and not back than. Hard to believe my ancestors left Europe to come here and live out in the woods in this little house, but I'm kinda glad they did...:))

Stonewall Jackson - one of the more famous generals from the US civil war - was from Virginia, by the end of the war West Virginia had split off and become a separate state, on the side of the USA. Jackson's family donated a sizeable chunk of land to make amends. My wife spent many summers here at 4H camp. .
I wanted to do something fun with Alexander Henry's Entertaining Elephants so I boxed them in with bright rainbow colors and quilted in a grid pattern with raibow variegated thread. Approx. 40" square.

I would love some help with ideas for how to quilt this top! I'd like to use pale yellow thread, and was thinking something with curves, but haven't come up with anything I love. I'm much better with a walking foot than FMQ, but would consider sending it out to be quilted if there's a design that would be fabulous and much better done on a long arm. Would also love to see other examples of quilting on wonky log cabins for visual inspiration.
After making my first quilt, this Log Cabin quilt was my next project in line. It was a major task and after piecing this one I decided I never wanted to make another quilt that was going to be larger than a twin size quilt.
The logs finished at 7/8" wide.
There are 17 logs in each block.
Each Block is 7 7/8" square (finished)
There is a total of 196 blocks. (set 14 across X 14 down)
The quilt measures 110" x 110" (without the red border)
It has 3,332 "log pieces" in the quilt.
I completed piecing it in about 3 months
Sadly I have not had it quilted yet but it was completed around the year 2000.
made as an example quilt for my 'beginners patchwork and quilting' evening class. Blogged: bearpawandbearpaw.blogspot.com/2011/08/quilt-finish-and-b...
