Thank you everyone for your fab response to my #logcabinheartblocks tutorial on YouTube. Lots of you are having great fun making these sweet blocks. Here is the large size as a Placemat, the one that started it all off. I originally designed this for #popularpatchworkmagazine a few years ago when they asked for a mini quilt that represented a few favourites! For me it was scraps, log cabins (my first love in quilt blocks) and the colour purple (I'm a child of the '70,s!!). I've seen these made as placemats in lots of different colours and backgrounds and they always work!! #quiltedplacemats #logcabin #logcabinheart #miniquilt #scrappyheart #heartmat

Apologies, instagram had a menopausal moment and didnt post the extra pics!! Take 2!!
It's the final week of #kindredspiritsqal and this week we are quilting and binding our flimsies! I can finally show you both versions of my Kindred Spirits quilts. The Coastal version is made with fabrics by @makoweruk and professionally long-arm quilted by the uber talented @trudi_wood (swipe left to see close up of the quilting). The 2nd quilt is my scrappy Tilda version, where I tested out all the blocks! I quilted this one in an organic wavy horizontal line. You can read more about both of these quilts on the blog. I can't wait to see the finished quilts from our kindred spirits!! #samplerquilt #handmadequilts #makowerfabrics #tildafabrics #scrappyquilt #longarmquilting #sewingcommunity

And here it is! My #britbee round 4 quilt top finished! It only took nearly 6 years but we made it! I love everything about it, but mostly because it represents a group of talented quilters who are very dear to me. And if course it will have to be long arm quilted by our Brit Bee @trudi_wood #britbeeforever #collaborationquilt #sewingcommunity #quiltingfriends #quiltingbee

I gifted this little gift bag today, filled with goodies. The heart is the small size block from my new free Log Cabin Heart YouTube tutorial. I love making these scrappy little hearts!! #logcabinhearts #scrappyheartblocks #scrappyhearts #drawstringbag #giftbag #handmadebags #freetutorials #youtubetutorials

My new Scrappy Log Cabin Hearts block YouTube tuto

My new Scrappy Log Cabin Hearts block YouTube tutorial is now live (link in bio)! There are 3 block sizes to choose from, 6.5", 10" & 14". Then you can turn your blocks into pretty projects, like my trio of mats. I used my Tilda scraps and Essex Yarn Dyed Linen in Denim for these. Read more about them and other heart block ideas on the blog. If you love using your scraps you're gonna love making these cute log cabin heart blocks!! #logcabin #logcabinhearts #scrappyhearts #scrappyheartblocks #heartblocktutorial #youtubetutorial #justjudedesigns #quiltedmats #tablemats

It's hard to believe but we have finished the block making stage of our #kindredspiritsqal and this week are bringing them and the borders altogether to make a quilt top! So exciting to be at this stage in our penultimate week! The work our kindred spirits have been sharing in our Facebook group has been outstanding! #sewingcommunity #samplerquilt #handmadequilts #justjudedesigns

A little break in my filming schedule means I could spend some time putting my #britbee round 4 quilt together! As you can see it's too big for my design board!! Have 3 columns sewn together so far but think I'll swap a couple of blocks to get a better balance! Loving it so far! #britbeeforever #sewingcommunity #quiltblocks #quiltingbee

This is our final week making blocks in #kindredspiritsqal . We have 1 x 9" Circle of Hearts block and 2 x 9" Orange Peel blocks to make, both applique and both very simple!! This is a really exciting time in the QAL seeing the blocks all come together into a quilt!! #quiltblocks #sewingcommunity #samplerquilt #justjudedesigns
