When: Sunday, April 19, 2015 from 1:30-4:30pm Where: New Hope Volunteer Fire Department , 4012 Whitfield Rd., Chapel Hill, NC Cost: $25 (DOQ member) $40 (non-DOQ member, if space available) plus optional kit fee of $15. This quilt pattern popularly known as Log Cabin is one many American quiltmakers assume was home-grown. But the Log Cabin quilt pattern may in fact have originated on a tiny island off the coast of England! Called the Roof Tile pattern on the Isle of Man (located between Ireland and England), the pleated quilt-as-you-go block is constructed (pieced) and quilted all at the same time and does not use batting. The blocks are then joined, front to front, and the backs’ foundations whip-stitched together. The Antique English Pleated Log Cabin Block’s casual sewing is an excellent introduction to hand stitching and has the advantage of being totally portable for today’s busy quiltmakers. This pattern is a super addition to your quilting skills and one you can teach kids and do at any time and any place. Please bring to class: *Four pre-cut 8 ½” squares of soft pre-washed muslin and four pre-cut 3 ½” squares in a solid color (Coordinate the color of your 3 ½” …
