Teresa: go for it... You do just add One Pierce at a time... And no one is mentioning any deadlines....

Margo: fabulous quilt, and fabulous quilting. Truly one he will treasure!

Margo, that quilt is just beautiful. Are you in the long-arm business now???

Margo that quilt is beautiful! I am glad you finally remembered to post a photo. The quilting pattern is perfect too. What a lot of detail with all those pebbles/bubbles and the fabulous swirls. No wonder your son likes.

The name of the book is Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book. I would say it is not your typical log cabin quilts. The first quilt I ever made was from Eleanor Burn's Log Cabin Quilt in a Day book. These are nothing like it.

What is the name of this Judy Martin book? Thanks, Dixie

Teresa, Congratulations on winning a ribbon - well deserved, the quilt is beautiful.

Margo, I can see why your son really likes his quilt. I love the colors and you did a terrific job. The quilting is perfect.

Margo,

I love the quilt and the quilting on it is fantastic!!

Have you done any of Judy Martin's other quilts from that book? I must be crazy because I am looking at doing either the Snake River Log Cabin, Finger Lakes Log Cabin or Shoreline Log Cabin. Just counted the number of pieces in them and wondering if I have lost my mind (anywhere from 4,500 pieces in 1 to 7,600 pieces in another). I have never tried anything with that many pieces but I just keep thinking - you just sew 1 piece at a time....

I thought that I had posted this earlier, but I guess I just had a senior moment!

This is a queen-size quilt I made during the long basement remodel, so it was actually sewn in the middle of the living room!
It went to my youngest son who has just moved to Myrtle Beach SC. The colors remind me of surf and sand.



I quilted it with my computerized HandiQuilter/ProStitcher with an all-over panto that makes me think of rolling surf and the accompanying foam!

He really likes it!

Congratulations, Teresa, on winning a ribbon for your absolutely gorgeous Summer Lake Log Cabin Quilt. The colors shimmer as would a lake surface on a bright summer day and your border and center motifs truly make this quilt a winner. Enjoy this wonderful achievement and great that your mother will enjoy your quilt as well as you when you visit...all good things!

Congratulations, Teresa! I'm in the middle of quilting a Summer Lake Log Cabin and have another one in the piecing stage. I really love Judy Martin quilts! Yours is just beautiful and well-deserving of a ribbon! I'm glad that your mother likes it. I think that's the most gratifying praise of all!

That's great news Theresa. Congratulations on your ribbon - it is well deserved because it is a beautiful quilt. I am sure your mom will keep your quilt clean and safe.

In mid January I posted a pic of one of the quilts (Summer Lake Log Cabin) I had finished in time for the local quilt show and was wondering how I was going to keep the dogs off it when I put it on my bed. Well that problem is solved. When my moom saw it hanging at the quilt show she said that she thought she should keep it for me and put it on the bed in her spare room since her's was a queen size bed and my bed was only a double and she said more people would see it at her house. This is the closest she has ever come to asking for a quilt, even though I have given her several. So the quilt went to live with her yesterday and I can visit it anytime I like.

As a side note I was very surprised and schocked when I saw it hanging at the quilt show and saw that it had a ribbon on it. It got 2nd place in the Large Collaberative division!! This was only the 2nd time I had ever put anything in a show. The first time was about 12 years ago. I had stopped sewing for about 8 years since I had little ones underfoot and just started back 2-3 years ago. First place went to a beautiful Sedona Star quilt!! There were so many beautiful quilts at the show I don't know how the judges could pick winners, I saw a couple that I could not believe did not get ribbons. I am glad I did not have to judge the show.
