Affordable Vacation Home – The Log Cabin

Standard

Ever wanted a little place in the woods to escape to? If that little place is not in your immediate future consider building your own log cabin.  Lincoln logs are an obvious choice of building materials but for a more discerning and mature builder, the cozier option is to quilt one.

Clever Fabric Folding

Standard

Colleen demonstrated a clever method of fabric folding and storage at our last meeting.  She used an 8 inch wide plexiglass ruler, placed the cut end of the fabric  on the ruler and rolled the fabric on the ruler just like a bolt of fabric.  She slid half the roll off the end of the ruler and folded it over, making all her pieces uniform in shape and size.

Colleen has her fat quarters folded to fit into IKEA CD boxes.  The size of the fabric storage container will determine what size ruler to be used for folding.
