Stitch & Create A Log Cabin Square

Discover the timeless pattern of the Log Cabin block in a supportive, collaborative setting!

Join us to learn how to create a new quilt project that can be turned into an accent pillow, table runner, or create a custom tote bag.   The iconic Log Cabin square is the perfect launchpad for new and begining sewers.

This workshop for adults and youth (ages 13+) is designed to be a comfortable space to learn from others. Think of your instructor, and the other experienced sewers, as your guides. You’ll get to experiment with colors and layouts, all while enjoying the company of fellow sewers in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
The instructor will demonstrate strip piecing to help you create several blocks at a time. By the end of our two sessions, you’ll have a completed 16" x 16" block (or more) and the confidence to turn it into a beatiful table runner or a fun bag! 

Instructor/facilitator:  Jan Nelson

What to Bring

Your own sewing machine in good working order (don't forget your power cord, foot pedal, and a fresh needle!).
Basic sewing notions (thread, scissors or a rotary cutter, pins).

Fabric & Materials

The facilitator will happily provide fabric scraps for everyone to use! However, if you have a specific color palette or pattern in mind, you are highly encouraged to bring your own fabric.

Fabric Estimate for a 16" x 16" Square:

• For a scrappy look: Bring 4 to 6 "Fat Quarters" (18" x 22" fabric pieces) in a mix of light and dark coordinating colors.
• For a coordinated look: Bring a total of about 1/2 to 3/4 yard of fabric, cut into 2.5-inch wide strips of varying lengths.

Where will your square take you? Your finished block is perfectly sized to be finished as a throw pillow cover, the front panel of a tote bag, or the very first block of a future heirloom quilt
