What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Last year all of us decided to make the Lone Cabin quilt or at least part of the quilt. You have seen mine many times but here are the girls progress on their quilt. They are looking great!

Here is Carrie's

Michelle's

Christy's. Tada! Top done!

I think Christy and Michelle said they may only make the cabin. So much for that plan. I love them all!

We have the condo for a week but every year it is a bit different as to how long everyone can stay. We got a quick photo before Michelle had ...

I finally finished getting the binding sewn down on the Lone Cabin quilt. 

You can get info on the pattern/book HERE. 

It is an oldie by Red Wagon. 

Many machine quilters don't like to do fan quilting, so I sent it out to a new person. Get info HERE. 

If you do fan quilting on your long arm, I'd love to support a Humble Quilt reader. Please contact me at humblequilts@gmail.com

I got my Lone Cabin quilt back but have not had a chance to make or put a binding on it. I was excited to share it with you.

I used a new quilter on this one.

I'll have the binding ready for this winter!

2 girlfriends and I made it out to Central Washington for a big backpack trip.

BOOM! 25ish miles in rugged and beautiful country! We were in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. 

Life has been a bit of a zoo but I've managed to get this Lone Cabin quilt top completed! YAY! I feel like the outer border is a bit too dark,   but it is too late now. It is off to the quilter!

Summer temps are in full force- love watching the birdbath!!

Deer were getting a drink from it last night. We let them get a drink before we scooted them out of the yard. 

I hope you are having a lovely summer.

Got the top together! Whoop! Whoop! The borders should be pretty simple to add. 

I hope your week has been great. Mine has!

Good morning quilt friends!

I've got pieces cut out and ready to assemble the main body of the Lone Cabin quilt. Progress! yay!

I did an early Zoom call to a lovely guild in Richmond VA this week. 

And I am down to 2 weeks and 1 day before leaving for Uganda with Enduring Treasures Ministries.

Have an amazing weekend!

These little stars are smaller than the first ones I made. Oh my goodness! That one on the left is hilarious! But it is primitive and I think once it is in a quilt it was be as noticeable to me. These are the 3 I managed to get together before leaving for Paducah. Once i have 3 more, I'll be read to start assembling the quilt center!

Nobody wanted the book so I guess I'll throw it away.  See the details HERE.

The book has found a home! 

I'll be at the Paducah show today! email ...

Here is some progress from the Lone Cabin quilt.

Carrie was out of town and used that time to do hand applique on these. 

Christy is doing hand applique with a buttonhole stitch.

I got my cornstalks appliqued. I only know they are cornstalks because that is what the book calls them! hahaha

Here is Michelle's log cabin.

I've got to get back to the pesky stars!

Laurie gave me a book that has this pattern in it. It has some damage and she cannot sell it. I know several of you were looking ...

Here is what I have so far. I've added the 3 stars. 

Here's the version that was in the book. I have done these primitive stars this way, but I was having a hard time wrapping my brain around it this time.

Mine turned out backwards, which isn't a big deal, I just had to remember how to do the other 2 so they looked the same. 

I wasn't a fan. 

So I opted for electric quilt and came up with my own version that I paper pieced. 

They are certainly primitive!! Now that I've ...

Here are my latest blocks of the Red Wagon quilt. 

This is what I have so far. I actually moved my angel heads too so I like them better.

I've got the 3 angels appliqued now. It's a good thing this is primitive! 

If you missed my first post this is called Lone Cabin from Red Wagon Originals. I know several of you found it in your collection or purchased a used copy on Amazon. If you make blocks I'd love to share them here with mine. Please send photos to humblequilts@gmail.com

I hope you are having a great week!
