Log Cabin Loonies

It's that time

when August's green corn moon is full

and all Log Cabin Loonies

report in to Julie K Quilts.

My report is that I've finished my

Strawberries and Chocolate log cabin.

 30" x 30"

You might remember that I pieced it 

from my

scrap basket collection of 

1 1/4" strips.

 I love running my hand over the surface

and feeling the texture created 

from perel cotton and a big stitch.

I'm going to be presenting a labeling

and documenting demo 

at one of my quilt groups next month so

I wanted to try a different technique and product

for my label.

I used the June Taylor Sew-In 

Colorfast Fabric Sheets for

the Ink Jet Printer. 

It was easy to design a label on the computer,

easy to print,

but, to be honest, I don't care for

the feel of the fabric after it's been set.

It has a plastic rubbery feel

and it was very difficult to needle

through when I added the perel cotton

stitching around the edge.

But I do have to add that the

photo transferring quality is excellent

and so much improved since this technique

was first introduced years ago.

Does anyone have a suggestion of a 

different product that

has a better feel?

I'd love to know.

Thanks, Julie

Your log cabin loony

sew along

has been crazy fun!

Until Next Time-
