A February Mini

Happy Leap Day!

The end of February 

means it's time  

 to share my

monthly mini.

It seemed the common theme this month

for many of us was redo, reuse or recycle.

My, not too mini log cabin quilt,

"Log House-1973"

42" x 42"

was a year long 

Leaders and Enders project

using 1.25" strips 

cut from various projects.

I arranged the precut light and dark 

pieces on a

labeled flannel board

so it was easy to pick up and sew.

As I worked on other things

throughout the year,

the log cabin blocks were continually being made.

I quilted in the ditch

just to add texture,

which isn't as easy as it sounds.

If you've done it before, you know

what I mean. 

 Blink, and you've jumped out.

****

The reason I called this 

"Log House-1973"

is because the first house 

Running  Man and I lived in

as a married couple was a 

log cabin owned by the state of Colorado

way way out in "no where" on 

the Western slope in an area 

known as the Piceance Basin. 

It was quite the beginning,

log house and all.

We just got back from a little

mini trip up to the

 YMCA of the Rockies

in Estes Park, Colorado.

It 's a great place to stay

and enjoy the mountain scenery.

Until Next Time-
