Here is the log cabin block for the Anniversary Quilt I'm working on. The borders are ready to applique! I pieced the strips on this one, then applied the fusible.
One purchase I have NEVER regretted is the applique pressing sheet. Check it out HERE. (this is one of many sites with this product)
This log cabin has 7 pieces. I can lay them all out on the pressing sheet, move them into the correct place, then press. The pieces all stick together, but once it cools I can lift it off the teflon sheet. Now I can place it on my border, press, and it will fuse and then I'll machine applique.
I've used this teflon pressing mat for at least 15 years and I love it!
Sometimes it is easier to just dump out the totes! The room is now cleaned up ready for my nephew to stay here later this week.
It's been cold, but cannot let a bluebird day go to waste!
Make it a great week!
Just an adorable log cabin "log cabin"--- what fun, Lori..[I somehow never understood how to use that applique pressing sheet--it is in a drawer somewhere...]I must unearth it and check it out for my Christmas (secret) reindeer piece...hugs from afar Julierose
ReplyDeleteI signed up for a 2021 quilt challenge! The theme is curves so I ordered some acrylic templates. This will be something new for me and I'm so excited! Love your log cabin
ReplyDeleteOH I like that cabin! Super fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool Log Cabin, Lori, and you have such a talent for capturing glorious nature photographs!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cabin! And I got a giggle from the "real" photo of the dumped bin.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous views, Lori!
Love your log cabin...so many awesome plaids! I love my applique pressing sheet also...once made an accidental cut into it...the cut never got any worse, so still quite useable!
ReplyDeleteYour dumping is the only way to pick and choose as to looking for the right fabric to use...then most usually an easier find for prints and color combandnations for a project..love your prim log cabin! PERFECT❤.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving "Lori" to you and your family! "Gooble, gobble🦃❤
Hug's, Carolyn
Have a great week. Your community is lucky to have your family business stay open and work hard for them.
ReplyDeleteYour log cabin is very authentic in style to some we've seen in the mountains, and perfectly wonderful. I've had one of those applique pressing sheets for a few years but sadly it has gone unused for quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteYour little brown log cabin is beautiful! No doubt you live in one of the most beautiful places on earth! I always enjoy seeing your pictures. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteLove your homey log cabin. It's going to be a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat Log cabin, which makes me think of Little house on the Prairie. Your photos are stunning, what an amazing area.
ReplyDeleteI really like it in those homespuns! Did you put fusible on the back of the house after you pieced the strips? Or just on the windows, door, chimney, and roof? (in case I want to copy you!!) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the kind of cabin I would love to stay in for vacation...... especially with that beautiful view of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove your log cabin.and beautiful photos.Thanks for the share.
