Lone Cabin- Complete! from Humble Quilts

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 took the quilt to the PJ party at Sisters to show Carrie, since I started it at our quilt retreat last year. I ...

Primitive Lone Cabin from Humble Quilts

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 ...

Just Call me Angel from Humble Quilts

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!

Log Cabins and More from Humble Quilts

While we were retreating we decided to make a quilt called Lone Cabin. It is in an old book Red Wagon Originals- HERE You can get it for a few bucks but be prepared to work with older and primitive patterns.

Below is how my cabin went together.

I made mine first and suggested to the others to cut the strips a tad wider.

The directions say to applique that vertical strip.

My log cabin needs a real contractor! hahaha

I unsewed below the door and sewed the bottom in.

Complete! Definitely prim!

Little Quilts from Humble Quilts

Here's a Prim quilt I put the finishing touches on this week. It was one block of a quilt called Remembering Cheri after Cheri passed away from cancer. It is growing on me the more I see it! LOL

Here's the solid little quilt with the yellow binding. I LOVE it!

It is backed by a piece of feedsack. This makes me pine for spring!

I machine quilted both of them.

I hope ya'll are doing great! I feel like I'm surrounded by Covid but so far, so good!

Much love

Log Cabins from Humble Quilts

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 ...

So Thankful from Needle and Foot

OK – this is such a sweet little finish! Remember I mentioned Julia is learning to embroider and to knit? She stitched the word thankful for me on a simple square of quilting cotton. (She was looking for something to do and I asked her to stitch one word I could display during the fall season.)

I knew I would make something very understated with this. Using a deep red scrap, I sewed on the first border. It finished at 3/4″ wide. Then I took an earthy brown scrap and attached a second border which finished at 1 1/4 ...

Together Again February from Humble Quilts

I have my top section pieced

And have my lower 4 blocks ready for applique. I had to piece a couple of them too.

I'm going to start by adding the angel on the top section, then start pulling fabric for one of the blocks. I am really considering buttonhole stitch in black! (by machine)

Have you gotten any fabric pulled yet?

PS, When I pulled out the angel pattern I was surprised at how HUGE it was! It doesn't look that large on the quilt.

There has been some talk about the difficulty of finding the book ...

Here's our 2020 Humble quilts quiltalong! It's called Anniversary Quilt designed by Linda Brannock and Jan Patek. It's an oldie, but it seems many of us have the book and a few are still on the hunt!

The block is a variation of a whig rose- primitive style and Barbara Brackman has a bit to say about that block, if you are interested go HERE.

We'll start off slow, just choosing fabric for the center background.

I'm not planning ...

Stoke the Fire! from Appalachian Quilts

The cold weather finds me sitting in front of the woodburner all nestled up and cozy. A lot of people start to feel depression this time of year. The days are shorter. The nights are longer. We don't venture outside as much and doctors attribute the "winter blues" to a lack of Vitamin D and lack of sunlight.

Yesterday, we had a bit of warmer weather. After spending all day Saturday in the kitchen working on this, that and the other....I needed some time outside. I have garlic that is late being planted, so I violated the rule ...

Missouri Star Shop Feature: Primitive & Wool from The Cutting Table Quilt Blog - A Blog for Quilters by Quilters

“Primitive,” also known as “Early Americana” style, emerged from within the first colonies here in the “New World.” Once the colonists were finally settled in, they had a bit more time get creative with everyday necessities such as clothing, furniture, and children’s toys.

While sewing up clothes for their children and fulfilling the duty of “homemaker,” women started to enhance their making skills with decorative stitching and design, steering away from trends in Europe and creating the first American style.

Today, folk artists use modern elements to create an antiquated look. At Missouri Star Quilt Co., we have a ...
