Log Cabin Stars

This past Saturday, my club met and we worked on kits I had put together for a Log Cabin Stars table runner that hopefully we will all finish in time to use this July 4th. I designed the pattern in EQ6 and used the Dimples fabrics by Andover to make up the kits. Found these really cute tubs at the Dollar Store and my daughter wrote everyone's name on a tub. She is such a sweetie to help me out, cause she knows I can't write that pretty. Linda...we missed you at the meeting!

Here are my pieces assembled, but not yet sewn together - just on my design wall. Hmmm...seems that I have a missing sashing piece - ok ladies, check your tubs and report in. Who has my missing sashing piece??? Linda D...I am not buying that fabric nabber from outer space story again. Anyway, we had fun making the kits up and rearranging the log cabin blocks. Next month everyone will have a chance to show how they finished theirs - it will be interesting to see the different arrangments of the blocks.

And here is Pumpkin ( or affectionally known as Stinky ) resting among the monkey grass. Think maybe he is dreaming of being the mighty Lion in the jungle?

Oh no Teresa - now I have to make one of these too. What a great design - I love log cabin and have been thinking of doing a couple of table runners for myself and gifts. I have EQ5 so may have a try at this.

What a darling, darling pattern! And those tubs, so cute--may have to check my dollar store! Kitty looks so content in his little jungle.

Cue the music... "in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Lion sleeps tonight"... Love that table runner kit! You are very clever!

Love the pattern! I did one similar to that as my very first quilt, many moons ago. Your kitty looks exactly like my kitty except mine weighs 22 pounds!

And why is he called Stinky? Love to here that story.

Great idea to hold the kits, it can be recycled for the next quilt as well. Maybe they will just return them to you for refills?

I have mine together already.... finished it by Sunday night. I took a picture this morning. Hope to have it quilted by the end of this weekend. Yes, a different setting from yours. Thanks for doing that for us!

I might have to learn EQ6 soon. That is a great design and perfect for the 4th of July.

What a cool tub! Very neat. And i have to say there is little as sweet as a kitty resting in the monkey grass.

What a cute idea the tubs are. The pattern is great. I feel like your Kitty...Think I need a little snooze....

I just saw one of your kits made up into a table runner on another blog. You did a good prep job for your friends.
