Wow....my wife made one identical to that back while i was build the log cabin oh so many years ago...wow I mean wow what a flashback....seriously beautiful piece of work you've done there:clap:
Thank you JJ that is very kind. You know I was thinking about you and that lovely log cabin and wondered if you had any pictures of it inside. I would love to see a couple after it was finished I would hope she also did a Log Cabin quilt for it! I'd especially love to see your kitchen from the log cabin.

My grandmother used to work at a sewing factory. Management would allow her to keep scraps from the cutting room floor.

She collected many patterns and colors of squares of various sizes.
Each quilt she made was an Artwork.

She called them finger quilts, as some of the pieces she used were no bigger than your pinkie finger.



Not her work but similar. None of the squares were of the same size.

It really looked good when it we got the inside finished but my wife got accepted to nursing school and I was in such a rush I wasn't taking any pictures at the end. Besides I always thought we were moving right back to the cabin after she graduated but that never happened. had a 1/2 loft it was really 'rustic' all wood inside with basic kitchen. One of the neighbors up there had remodeled their kitchen and gave us all their old cabinets. I just took the doors off and used them. Made counter tops out of 2x6 t&g just like the floors. Left it all logs and raw wood inside. I'm really sorry I didn't take more pictures at the end...:?

Ahh I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't taken pictures of some of my projects and have regretted that. Is that your foster son or your son?

Have to return two new CMH bulbs, got a great deal on them, NOT! Oh well, ya gets what ya pay for. Jumped through Amazon hoops for a bit. Glad I still had the old ones.
BLT's tonight, need to use some of the plethora of tomatoes invading the house. If anyone wants some drop by. Mine are almost acid free.
Probably heading to the M in Law's tomorrow, first time driving through what used to be Paradise. Not looking forward to seeing what happened.
Wife is doing well enough that we may be in our own bed tonight instead of on the couches. Might help my back a bit.
Buds and suds time, cheers.
