Log Cabin Lap Quilt


The Log Cabin blocks are so much fun to make - I just went through my stash of fabrics and cut out some that I thought would go well together - can't say that it looks that great, but sure was fun to put together.


You ask why is there a red center? It is traditional and although it doesn't really go with my quilt - I thought it would be interesting to use it there.

Latest lap quilt & painted tennis shoes


My sister Dolores wanted to see the tennis shoes I painted at Craft Club this week - they aren't great, but still was fun to do.

Latest sewing items & Mother's Day flowers











Beautiful flowers delivered this afternoon from my darling daughter and her ever so wonderful husband - they are lovely and there is a butterfly on the vase.



The tablecloth is the Log Cabin one I made two weeks ago. The lap quilt with the American Flag applique in the middle I made yesterday and today - it was a lot of fun. The flag fabric I bought last July during the Quilt Run and I think I will be using more of it as I made the lap quilts for Christmas gifts this year.
The orange and green lap quilt is flannel and I have sewn big buttons in the corners. I used a high loft fiberfill inside and it wil be quite cozy.
