Log Cabin

Texas State Park

More summer crafting, new potholders for the cottage.

log cabin updated with new roof. or a newer cabin built to look old. At night with the lights out and fireplace going: this place could creep you out.

Have spent a week in a beautiful safe anchorage only a couple of miles from the Masig ( york island) community. Wonderful place and freindly torres straight islanders to chat with while shopping at there 2 stores. Population is about 350 and its a great group of Islands. Now we are fueled up with the barge and ready to venture east out thru the barrier to Ashmore reef tommorrow. After diving Ashmore for a few days we'll work our way south past Raine Island till we meet the a barge at lockhard river in 4 weeks. By then we'll need fuel, food and an internet / mobile phone fix :)

p.s tha above tree is called " THE BIG TREE" and was a gift to the islanders from the city of Cairns.

According to recent estimates, Indonesia is the third largest greenhouse gas polluter of any nation on the planet, largely due to the destruction of its rainforest and peatlands. Clearing massive tracts of forest also has a major impact on wildlife diversity, and creates social conflict with indigenous communities.

Apparently this strange looking beast is the only surviving logging locomotive built by Davidson & Company of Hokitika, New Zealand, and is of an 0-4-4-0 wheel arrangement. It sits alongside Highway 7 a few miles from Greymouth and was photographed in November 2005.

FANTAKEN.

When a farmhouse in Forestburgh, NY was demolished, this log cabin was found inside it. It was dismantled and brought to the Forestburgh town hall and reassembled.

Since Log Cabin blocks can be looked at as just squares and HSTs, I'm going to use a very traditional block design and try to make it using Log Cabin blocks. I think this will give me an opportunity to use a lot of my cut medium fabrics. Hope it works, but, if not, I can come up with some other arrangement. Wonder how quickly the block can be recognized.....

I taught a quilting class at Beaver Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church, this log cabin quilt is the product of that class. Given to Jamie September 2002

Log canoes originally were used as oyster-harvesting boats. These days they are raced by sailing enthusiasts on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. This one is on the Miles River.

scrappy log cabin block, 30s repro fabrics

I decided to do all of the HST blocks first because I wanted to be sure to keep my lights and darks pretty definite. Now, I can go on to the all light and all dark blocks where I'm pretty sure I can add a good many mediums. So funny, I sketched this out on graph paper and, even with the graph paper in hand as I placed these blocks, I'm not positive they're in the right place - I think so, but not positive.

Today Amber and I went from home on a circular walk having Coffee at Old Heathfield Church and Lunch at Warbleton Church and then back home about 10 miles in all. So the weather was mostly sunny but the wind was quite cold. Anyway it was a lovely gentle walk in the beautiful countryside which is always a joy with lots to see and Amber seemed to be having fun so just 10 images for today.

Family log cabin - built in 1890's

Since I already knew the layout I was going to use, I made my blocks without putting them up on the design wall. I've added a lot of mediums to both the light and dark sides because I like them added into Log Cabin blocks. The box of cut logs looks quite different than in the last picture, but there are still pieces in there so I can continue to add to them and always have a good variety for Log Cabins. It's like starter dough :)

On a recent visit to Tasmania, I encountered a number of these bumper stickers. Below is an article explaining their significance.

  

TASMANIA: Logging Company Tries to Sue Protestors into Silence

 

Corporate Watch

January 26th, 2005

 

Gunns, the company responsible for logging the Tasmanian rainforests, is responding to a 5-year long campaign of protests and direct action by issuing a mass lawsuit, hoping to intimidate or impoverish its opponents out of existence. On the 13th of December, 2004 it filed a case naming 20 individuals and groups, from direct action protestors to a Green Party senator, and is seeking over A$6million in damages from them for a ‘conspiracy to injure Gunns by unlawful means’ - harming Gunns’ profits by protesting. This is the latest round in a bitter struggle that has polarised the Tasmanian community over the future of the remaining rainforests – on the one hand there is a powerful corporation and large number of loggers who depend on the industry, and on the other there is a large community of green citizens who are concerned to see the forests preserved.

 

Only 13% of old growth forest remains in Tasmania, and 20,000 hectares of this are cleared and burnt each year, mainly by Gunns, which is the largest company in the state. This position gives them a great deal of influence within the Tasmanian government, of course, and this lawsuit can be seen as an attempt by Gunns to use the friendly state apparatus to squash popular opposition to their logging activities. The Green Party in Tasmania got around 15% of the vote in the last local elections of August 2002, which may indicate another reason why the ruling Labor administration seems happy to go along with Gunns’ plans.

 

This attempt to sue their opponents out of existence could actually indicate Gunns' weakness in the face of concerted opposition. The list of groups and individuals cited in the suit adds up to a long list of campaigns and actions – including The Styx Valley tree-sit campaign in 2003, a protest and 'lock-on' at the Triabunna woodchip mill and a letter-writing campaign which saw more than 7000 people write to Japanese woodchip customers urging them not to buy Gunns woodchips. If they are hoping to isolate 20 ‘ring leaders’ their hopes are probably mistaken, since a crowd of 600 rallied in the small Tasmanian state capital Hobart to protest the charges on the 15th of December, 2004.

 

Most of the wood logged in Tasmania - 90% - is converted into woodchips for the Asian paper industry and sold at around A$15 (less than £6) per tonne. In 2000 the Australian Bureau of Statistics calculated that 5,498,654 tonnes were converted to woodchip, plus 15 to 20 million tonnes of ‘woodland waste’ were burnt. The Tasmania that Gunns built is rapidly eliminating the forest habitats of species such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle and Eastern Pygmy Possum, and is also making life hard for the human population. Tasmania has the highest density of trucks on the roads of all Australia, and although the trucking and logging industries employ approximately 5,000 people, this situation is not sustainable.

 

According to a report published by Timber Workers for Forests (TWFF), the number of people employed in Tasmanian logging has declined by nearly 4,000 since the 1980s; they see this as due to ‘the replacement of high quality forest with fast growing pulp species which create a future solely for mechanised harvesting with only one possible output – low value woodchips and associated job minimisation.’ Currently Gunns are involved in clear-felling sections of old growth woodland, that contains unique Tasmanian timbers such as myrtle, blackwood celery-top and sassafrass, and in their place growing new trees that are harvested every 25 years or so, and then made into woodchip. TWFF advocate minimal felling for use in carpentry, joining, building and other craft industries, such as boat building and instrument making – an approach that would diversify the Tasmanian jobs market and provide much more employment, especially in the long run. However, as long as Gunns are making profit (over 73 million A$ in 2003) they are unlikely to abandon their policy of clear-felling ancient woodland. When this heritage has been squandered the remaining loggers and truckers will be laid off and Gunns will move on to continue its vampiric career.

 

Against this scenario are ranged the environmental campaigners. They hope that Gunns’ use of the courts will backfire against them, just as it did against McDonalds when they tried to sue two campaigners in what eventually became a massive public relations own goal for the company.

I'm still feeling like doing Log Cabins and I'm wondering about using neutrals and a high contrast. We'll see.....
