Do you remember the joy of Halloween? Spending weeks dreaming of what you wanted to be for a day? The excitement of standing in the aisles of the store picturing yourself in all the fun costumes? Or, maybe making your own costume, using what you had on hand or going to the thrift store to find just the right pieces?
Let's talk about the fun we can have doing this as grown-ups, any day of the year!

Learn a new way to make the traditional log cabin block using strip sets. These blocks are quick to sew, and can be made from a few colors or many colors to make it scrappy.
Use Christmas colors, school colors, batiks, prints, or solids. Anything goes. Once you make the blocks, they can be arranged in dozens of ways to create an artistic quilt with an updated log cabin flair.
Your own creativity is your only limit. Who knows, you may come up with an entirely new way to arrange these fun, fast-to-make blocks!
I took this class from Karin Hellaby in Houston – it was exciting to see these blocks come together in such a variety of ways.
Please bring your lunch so we can maximize our sewing time and keep the sewing momentum going all day long !
