"Log Cabin Star"
21" x 21"
I've entered this in SewCalGal's Virtual Christmas Quilt Show - a fun way to display quilts without the trouble of actually leaving my chair. You can link here to see other quilts in the show.
"Channukah Lights"
16" x 19"
I made a couple more of these Channukah quilts for gifts and used Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks for the colorful smoke and got much more vibrant colors. I would use those instead of the crayons if I were to do this again. They're soft and color the fabric easily; after heat-setting, they're permanent. Best of all -- they don't change the hand of the fabric at all.

I have always loved the log cabin pattern and this one is especially pretty in the Christmas colors.
Hi Karen! Nice to "meet" you and welcome to the BJP. Thanks for posting an introduction on the BJP blog and for adding a link to your personal blog. I've just looked through all of your current posts... enjoyed the snow pictures, as we don't get that much very often. I also really like both of your quilts on the this post! You'll fit right into the BJP... can't wait to see your work! Robin
Your Log Cabin Stars is a beautiful quilt.
Your log cabin star is lovely, but I like the Channukah quilt even more.
