Welcome To Winter.
Posted on | June 7, 2025 | 7 Comments
Brrr. It is a holiday weekend here as well as the first weekend of Winter. I think my holiday will be staying at home and keeping warm.
My trees are still in Autumn, but with the winds we are having, I am sure the leaves will be gone very soon.
My taxi driving requests are slowing, so I am able to return to some regular sewing time. As a result I have completed a soft and subtle blue and white log cabin quilt.
It measures about 54inches square and is made with two inch strips, all from my scraps and stash. These pics give and idea of the range of fabrics.
I seem to have used them in many projects over the years.
I did a simple meander for the quilting.
The backing is a dragonfly print.
And the binding is a soft blue and white stripe.
We have managed a short weekend trip away last month to Bendigo to see the Frida Kahlo exhibition.
The gallery there always comes up with exciting displays. Very informative and inspiring.
Of course we made a side trip to the Woollen mills for some purchases. Can’t go to Bendigo without doing that.
Well, I could go outside to rake up the leaves, or I could stay inside and sew.
No decision yet.
Cheers, Karen

Hi Karen! The funny thing is, it’s summer here and it’s pretty cold! Your blue & white log cabin is stunning!!! Great binding and backing, too! Good to hear the taxiing has slowed down…
Congratulations on the finish! Absolutely gorgeous log cabin quilt! One of my favorite pattern. Love your autumn leaves, not cold enough for autumn colors here, except some trees on the plateau. Glad you had a nice trip out, both places look interesting. It’s cold here too. Temperature dropped 2-3 degrees and we are having strong wind from south-east. BRRR! Stay warm!
Dont worry about the leaves, do sewing instead!
I love watching confetti of leaves blowing off trees! your log cabin quilt is just gorgeous, such a great selection of fabrics that match so well…

Oh my gosh. That blue and white quilt is saying Winter loud and clear. It looks so frosty! Beautiful.
I love your blue log cabin. It is gorgeous, in a quiet refined way!
And I would gladly share some of the heat we have going on here with you!
Hi Karen, I love the blue and white log cabin! Such a classic pattern, it is hard to go wrong. Nice to see you’ve visited the Frida Kahlo exhibition. I was there last week with my sister, and that photo of Frida was the exact one I took, too! Your autumn leaves have hung on far longer than ours. With today’s rain, they are getting very mushy on the nature strip!
