Love Apple #6 and Log Cabin #7 (Lynn)

I enjoyed assembling these blocks and can begin to see where fabrics are repeating from previous blocks to tie this "quilt to be" together.

 
Looking forward to finding the perfect fabrics for the setting blocks.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Log Cabin #7 (Val)

I enjoyed making this block in honor of Sojourner Truth.

 
I've included our Christmas cactus which obviously has decided to bloom for Thanksgiving this year.  I'm thankful for our friendship and hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Love Apple #6 (Val)

Here's my version of the Love Apple which I finally machine appliqued after our meeting!!  It was such a fun afternoon sharing our journey together as we celebrate the leaders of the Suffrage movement.

Block #7: Log Cabin & Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Baumfree in 1797.  By 18 she had been sold twice and married to a fellow slave, Thomas.  Sojourner escaped with her infant daughter Sofia, became a famous preacher, and advocated for women's rights and against slavery.  Ms. Truth continued traveling and speaking until her death in 1883.

This is block #2 for me =- the first was done in blue/pink/brown, was lovely, but also seemed to be too big a splotch of bright color for my quilt --another fun block to make...
