Basket Weaving Fun!

This weekend we had some quality time with a couple of our favorite people.

We skied at Mount Sunapee... 

then relaxed at our 'home away from home' for an evening of delicious food, wonderful music and creative crafting fun!

Once the sun set...

And the boys finish their 'job' of cleaning up the new snow...

The guys jammed...

 While the girls crafted!

 

 And the finished products...

Happy Girls!

Got the idea from Atkinson Design - Woven Fabric Basket.

Wordless Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday! Peaceful...

Log Cabin Pillows with Theme Fabrics!

As a follow up to my last post, I wanted to share some additional 

Log Cabin 

pieces.  

While log cabin is my favorite Quilt Square, working with Theme Fabric is one of my favorite design features.

 

This is a 15" pillow.  It was made using 4 log cabin squares plus the border.  

It has an envelope back that you slide the pillow into.

I used a theme fabric for the outside of the squares in this pillow for the  

Musician in your life!!

16" square over a 14" pillow form.

My second themed pillow is to celebrate 

Halloween!

Who can resist these Pirate Ghosts!

17"-18" square over a 16" pillow form.

By pulling out 3 of the main colors in the theme fabric you can nicely design a log cabin block that flows.  Making two different blocks, yellow-green-orange & orange-green-yellow 

gives the design a very eye catching feature.

Both of these items are available in my Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/MJJoerger
