Width: 9" Length: 9"

Designer: Judy Martin from her Log Cabin Quilt Book , used with written permission.

Materials/Techniques: The fabrics are all batiks. There are many pieces in this quilt, but I never came up with the same count twice. I think it is between 780 and 800 pieces with some of the pieces only a scant 1/8 inch. It is lightly quilted with clear thread.

Artist Statement: Yes, this is a log cabin block, with many of the logs pieced. It is named after the original, much larger quilt in Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book but made with fewer blocks, each reduced in size. It was so innovative I just had to try and make one.

We change their environment to keep them from harm. We try to stimulate their memory and as they slip away, all we can do is love them.

Designer: Judy Martin Scraps, Blocks & Quilts, used with written permission.

Materials/Techniques: Blue and green scraps, light colored fabrics and the bright pink makes a calming quilt, quilted lightly with clear thread.

Artist Statement: The Weaver's Log Cabin blocks were designed by Judy Martin, and published in her book Scraps, Blocks & Quilts. The border was my idea to mimic the weave of the blocks and I thought a bow from the "ribbon" would tie it all together.

Materials/Techniques: Photo printed on fabric and quilted.

Artist Statement: Daffodils always remind me of spring and of my father--every year he would divide and replant the daffodils forming the border of our yard and the adjacent woods. Over time there were thousands of daffodils that would welcome us each spring. Here are some of his memories of growing up during the 1930's: "We lived in a rural area. Our house didn’t have electricity, running water, central heat or a telephone. It was heated with coal using an iron, pot-bellied stove that actually got red hot when it was going full blast. We sifted the ashes to salvage any coal that went through the grates. Without electricity or running water it’s obvious that we didn’t have inside plumbing; therefore, we had an outhouse. Every year we had a big garden. We also raised chickens and at one time we had geese in the back yard. We had about an acre and a half. The school that I went to was a two room school with two teachers. There were five students in my class.” — Charles Schroeder, on his childhood in the 1930′s

Materials/Techniques: Cotton fabrics, hand painted, paint-stick moon, crackled process, rough edge appliqué owl, Tsukineko ink embellishment, hand appliqué branch, machine quilted, signed, piped, traditionally bound.

Artist Statement: From beginning to end, this quilt was a fun one to make. Living in the woods allows us to hear many varieties of owls hooting at night and sometimes during the day. Occasionally, we get a good view of them sitting on a branch just as this one is doing.

Dedication: To all the nature lovers of the world.
