Log Cabin Patchwork with Johanna Masko (bring your own machine)
Saturday, November 9, 2024, 10:30 am - 4:30 pm

Enjoy a day of play with colour and cotton, Log Cabin quilt style! 

Award-winning quilt maker Johanna Masko leads a full day workshop that focuses on helpful techniques and best practices for piecing together a traditional Log Cabin block design. Often blending the frugal use of materials with a bold, visual impact, the Log Cabin block has long been a favourite with quilters. 

Students will learn a variety of efficient preparation and construction methods, then apply them to build a batch of Log Cabin quilt blocks from scratch. Explore the creative possibilities in deliberate colour and value placement and experiment with dynamic patchwork layouts that incorporate unique, individual style.
