Cabin in the Woods

Last weekend, I enjoyed a quilting get together with a small group of friends in northern MN.  The weather was perfect and the leaves were beginning to turn.  The time away, along with the idyllic setting, inspired me to create my Cabin in the Woods quilt.

In this free tutorial I will share how to draft the cabin block in EQ8.  I gave myself a rule -- only squares, rectangles and triangle pieces with 45 degree angles.  I want to be able to piece this without using too much brain power.
Here is the block from the video.

I've pulled some fabrics to work on this quilt.  I love a scrappy quilt -- and all of these fabrics came from my stash.  There are four cabins planned for my future quilt.

Tech Know Quilters is a membership of Electric Quilt 8 owners who are mastering Electric Quilt through online training.  At the end of their August class, they were encouraged to apply what they learned during the month of August. 

Tech Know Quilters is open to new members only a few times a year.  You can learn more and  enroll through Monday, September 28, 2020  ​

I love having people at different stages of the EQ journey submitting designs.  I am so proud of this group of quilt designers.

Evelyn Schirmbeck has been in TKQ for 2 months. "This is what I'm working on without knowing what I'm doing yet. This is an extremely rough draft, Some of the blocks are representations only as a reminder that I need to redraw them. June, my 84 year old mentor is working with me on this project. We are using Kathleen McElwaine art blocks."

Tina Rhode During one of the classes I started to play with just using a traditional block but then seeing how layout and color changed it.

Christel Frischmuth challenged herself to use all the blocks from the Introduction to EasyDraw class.

Joyce Drenth My time this month has been limited, but I did create another small 8" x 8" quilt for little stands. I am now making 3 in materials I have on hand. The tree is stitched with small/packed chain stitches and will be created from wools. The background is a cream and ecru gingham check 'in reality'.

Marlu Allan I liked this optical illusion quilt best of all the quilts we finished this month. Plus the blocks can be paper pieced.
Picture
Camille Lechliter In Quilt Layouts, I learned how to do customizing of the pixelated pieces to combine the same fabric into blocks and how to make HSTs in the Photo Patchwork layout. Funnest class!

Karen Eddie Neal Inspired by a quilt from Reproduction Quilts, I changed it to make it my own.

Rhonda Goss The quilt was inspired by a lesson in Optical Illusions class.

Carmen Sidlaruk I used a clip and flip block from Mix and Match Medallion Centers to create this quilt. The block looked to busy so I was able to go back and edit the original block by deleting some lines and moving a couple of lines. The Clip and Flip just ended up giving me a foundation for the block.

Maureen Feron Pinwill I enjoyed using a custom set quilt layout and decided to use this to display my impossible triangle blocks which were 12" square. I changed the size of my single block of the impossible triange to 3" and set them in to the onpioint quilt border. Had lots of fun.

Holly Wilson This month was Stain Glass Master's. For the challenge I chose a block from the library Lover's Knot. Used create serendipidy. Created a frame for the block. The best tip I learned from this month's lesson was how to change my solid lines to brushstroke for the leading in the stainglass. While I had used the brush stroke many times, I did not know how to combine it with other strokes in applique. A very valuable tip! Thank you Kari for a great month!
Picture
Irene Floyd I took 2 classes this month: Intro to Easy Draw and Easy Draw Kaleidoscopes. For this on-point quilt, I used 3 of the blocks I had created in the Intro class, finishing off with the lesson on Serendipity to very easily create borders for the blocks. I also enjoyed the lessons where we created applique motifs.
Picture
Debbi Treusch This is a cute little stained glass quilt using the Deep Forest fabric collection. I added straight line leading to background with the technique taught in class. Then used the thread tools with a solid thick black line to mimic the leading on the applique. It worked great and realistically, I would do 1/8 inch leading around the applique so they don't appear "heavy" in the quilt.
Picture
Carole Fox While I was visiting a friend, I spotted a stained glass window over her entrance door. I found it inspiring and reproduced it as a quilt.

Belinda Betts Got a little bit carried away with a combination of the Easygoing hexagons/modern/one block layout. I could spend a lot of time playing with this program. Thanks Kari!
