Description

Students will explore 10 different log cabin variations including Courthouse Steps, Barn Raising, Fields and Furrows, Flying Geese, Bow Tie, Pinwheel, Half Log Cabin, Pineapple, and Sunshine and Shadow. Students will choose their favorite four patterns on linen (9” x 9” each with 4” borders) which will be turned into hot pads when all four are completed. Various finishing techniques for the hot pads will be taught including fabric bias, knit, crochet, stitched, applique, and braided edges.

These studies will serve as samples for larger rugs which students may wish to hook in the future and for which paper templates will be provided. Students may bring their own wool. This is a great class to use up your #8 cut worms, so get sorting! There will be hand dyed wool available for purchase in the classroom as well.

PowerPoint presentations will be included as part of the class instruction.
