Log Cabin Quilts |
Have you ever wondered who came up with the first Log Cabin quilt? In this wonderfully heartfelt tale, writer and quiltmaker Karen Murphy imagines how this time-honored design might have come about.
Meet Abby, a quilter who discovers her creativity during a harsh winter on the northern plains. From cutting her first fabric "logs" to unveiling her quilt at the chatty community quilting bee, Abby will charm you in this fictional account of how the first Log Cabin quilt came to be. In addition to the story, you'll also find 10 quilt patters that reveal how the versatile Log Cabin block has inspired quilters from the frontier days to the twenty-first century.
Karen Murphy learned to quilt at nine years old and fell head-over-heels in love with the sewing machine and fabric. She has her own pattern company called Idaho Quilt Company
