About this Event
Learn the basics of the versatile Log Cabin Quilt block and the beginnings of making your own quilts - from coasters to bed quilts! You will learn how to make a 12" Log Cabin block and see how it can be replicated, stitched together with other blocks, and arranged in a variety of patterns. I will show you examples of traditional and contemporary log cabin quilts. A basic understanding of how to use a sewing machine is helpful, but no previous sewing experience is necessary.
