This next one was made from scraps from the graduation quilt. It was one of my color disasters. Even though the colors were different, teal and purple, the values were too similar so there is very little contrast for the log cabin design. You have to be looking closely and even squint a bit to realize that this is the barn raising version of a log cabin. I still love the quilt and it hangs from time to time in my house.

Currently I live in Idaho, but was a resident of Alaska for 32 years. I learned to quilt mostly by mistakes, magazines and books. But through the Denali Quilters Guild I was able to take wonderful classes, participate in exercises and challenges that expanded my level of expertise and interests. I have been quilting for 30 plus years, but not exclusively. It took me a while to realize that quilting was the only art/craft that I wanted to do. I have two daughters and a wonderful husband, but none share my interest in quilting other than receiving quilts. But I have high hopes for their futures as both are crafters and I feel that one day they too will get the quilting bug. Now that I am in Idaho I have discovered gardening, but quilting will never be at the bottom of my list of hobbies.
