The Log Cabin quilt block is perhaps the most well-known, best loved of all quilt designs. Simple enough for a beginner quilter to confidently stitch... ...yet versatile enough to pique the interest of a more experienced quilter.
This beautiful quilt will create a cozy feeling in your bedroom, to cuddle under on the couch or have a picnic on.
The basic structure of this quilt block is a center shape surrounded by strips, or 'logs'. In our example, we will be using 3 ‘logs’ on each side of the center.
The Log Cabin in the Round combines multiple width ‘logs’ or you can elect to construct a more traditional same size ‘logs’
Your choice will be for 1 Day class (10-3) and a split 2 day class (10-1). The Saturday classes, 1st one will instruct you on the construction of the blocks and then you will do your homework and come back for the 2nd class for the construction of the quilt.
You have another choice, make a traditional log cabin or a log cabin in the round.

Time:10:00 - 11:00

This will be a sew out instructional class. We will build each project that will walk you through all the steps to create a beautiful project. You will get your KimberBell files and instructions on the USB drive you must bring to class.
Remember those paint by number coloring pictures you may have done as a child? All you had to do was follow the directions, coloring or painting each shape a specific color, and before you knew it, you created a fun mystery picture!
The piecing projects you’ll find in such projects like the “Machine Embroider by Number™” or zipper pouches, works the same way, but with fabric piecing on the embroidery machine—and we promise it’s still just as easy!
Don’t be overwhelmed by the number of steps in each design. They are each small steps that are easy to follow along. You will see us build the project showing each step with you and you will have full color instructions to follow at home. And although there are a number of color changes in the design, that is only meant to “tell the machine to stop” between steps. Usually only 1 or 2 thread changes are needed.
If you lose track of which step you are on, your step by step directions include an icon indicating which step from the embroidery design corresponds with that specific step in the directions.
