Quilts Around my House – Quilt Patterns too

I had an email and the question, “How can you do it all?”  Easy, I LOVE IT all. Hours seem like minutes and days seem like hours, I have found my groove. I do work 3-4 hours a day at everything and I love it. I enjoy what I do and who I am. This has taken me the past year to figure out. I went to my core because of what I thought I knew was turned on it’s head. But, I did it and I am better today than yesterday. So, here’s a sample of the Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop ~ TAKE a LOOK !

As with children, no favorite…. BUT this quilt pattern is NAMED after ME…. Maybe a favorite ??  B. Annie Quilt Pattern

Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern for YOU !

This is basic log cabin quilt pattern for you to make. It has a finished size of ten inches by ten inches.  As you can probably see I like to just cut strips and have fun at piecing log cabin blocks. This quilt finished to be scrappy and brought together with the border fabric. I piece my quilt block using a sewing machine, just a little Brothers model, nothing fancy.

I made this quilt block with very simple colors and background, but you can have lots of fun with it.   Remember to press NOT IRON a quilt block and I always press as I go each seam. I have a small ironing board right by my sewing machine.   I posted how I do quilt triangles for you at my other site, TheQuiltLadies.com
