Book review: 101 Log Cabin Blocks

Log Cabin fans, this one’s for you. I received an evaluation copy of this quilting pattern book 101 Log Cabin Blocks created by House of White Birches released this month. Product Description: This book is 112 pages and includes diagrams for creating a variety of traditional Log Cabin blocks in four sizes. It also offers new variations on the usual rectangular strip shapes, with logs that become flowers, houses, hearts and animals.

Pros: The patterns are full size so you don’t have to worry about resizing. They are numbered for paper/foundation piecing. The blocks are in color.

Cons: I realize it’s a quilt block pattern book, but I would have loved to see some full size quilts made from the blocks, just a few to inspire me.

This would be a good reference book for traditional quilt guilds.

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.

The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.

As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.
