Mix and match the purple and lavendar from the Snow Days Flannel Collection:
I was talking with a customer (Nancy) about whether to prewash these fabrics. We both had always heard that reds really bleed a lot. She was concerned too, but she had used the Shout Color Catcher and was sure it would work.
Nancy emailed me this update:
Just wanted you to know that I did the dare and washed all the fabrics together in cold water with the Shout color catcher sheet and Voila….no bleeding!!! I admit, I was a little nervous; but just had to try it. I gasped when I opened the washer cover and saw pink; but I didn’t realize that was the Shout sheet itself LOL.
I went out and bought a box of these – you get 24 sheets for $4.24! I am putting 1 sheet in with these kits with the instructions on how to use it!
Abbi May’s Review: ***** 5 stars
This is more then a Quilt Book. There is all kinds of help, with detailed instuctions and lots and lots of pictures!
There are over 100 diffenent setting plans.!!! There are basic log cabins to fancy ones.
Soft sided 128 pages, 16 quilts with lots of color.
These ain’t your grandmother’s Log Cabins. (Well, one is, but the other 15 quilts are beyond anything she ever could have imagined!) No one knows more about Log Cabins than Judy Martin does, and she shares a lifetime of experience in this exciting, new book.
An enduring pattern made new again
Kentucky Log Cabin
For as long as people have been making quilts, they’ve been making Log Cabins. And for as long as Judy Martin has been designing quilts, she’s been designing Log Cabins. Her first book was Log Cabin Quilts, back in 1980. She’s been tinkering with Log Cabin designs ever since, creating such popular patterns as Colorado Log Cabin, Starlight Log Cabin, and Spring Valley Log Cabin. Now she’s back with a new set of Log Cabin patterns ready to take their place beside her earlier classics.
