Log Cabin Quilters
We meet every Thursday morning at the Museum. Ladies work on handquilting in the frame, working on their own projects or projects for the Club to help raise funds for the Museum. The volunteers are happy to share their knowledge. Call or email for more information. We're always looking for volunteers.

Our quilters are happy to have the Holidays behind us and we’re ready for the
Unfortunately it also means all of us get to schedule doctor appointments and try to coordinate so we all aren’t on the same day. We’re OK just the usual, we’re old so we get to see doctors every 3 or 6 months. Ahh, the golden years that we all were looking forward to seeing.
We had several donations this week. There was several pieces of dress material and cotton material suitable for quilting. Thank you.
A show and tell framed quilt was brought in. The quilt was beautifully made with lot of embroidery work. It’s interesting with babies and hearts. I don’t understand it but someone paid money to have it professionally framed. It’s probably 4 foot by 5 foot so it had to mean something to someone to have spent the money to frame something that size.
The Backyard Pickers were out Saturday. We’ll get back on our first Saturday of each month visits. There were a lot of people out from the various RV parks in the area. Maybe some will come out to take advantage of our tables to work on a new project. Come on out.
The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday Jan 13th at the Levy County Quilt Museum. All of our group is finally here for the next few months. We have several members out sick with one that should be back next week. It seems like we just get one back off the sick list and someone else goes on. We’ve been fortunate that only one or two has had Covid so far. May out luck continue.
We had several donations dropped of this week. Most of the work of measuring the fabric is made enjoyable finding new interesting fabric or other surprises. Thank you for thinking of us.
Thursday the 20th, we’ll have the ladies from the Rainbow Quilters in Dunnellon. Can’t believe they’ve been coming up for three years and sharing stories with us. They enjoy looking at everything in the Museum. Hope the weather improves for their trip.
It’s hard to imagine the Winnelle Horne died ten years ago later this month. Visitors come in and ask about her also telling memories of her. She would be very pleased to see what her Museum has become and that the community is still supporting us.
The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, January 20th at the Levy County Quilt Museum. It was a day filled with happy noises as the ladies from the Rainbow Quilt Club from Citrus County joined us for lunch. Twelve ladies came up for lunch, lots of browsing and a road trip. We’re looking forward to their next visit. They make great friends.
We had a package in the mail this week from Maryland. A recent visitor saw our tatting books and sent her tatting thread that she no longer can use. That was so thoughtful as tatting thread is getting harder to find as well as someone who can do tatting. Thank you. Now to find a tatter.
Also on Thursday several ladies from Water Oak C.C. Estates in Lady Lake brought a Presidential quilt with embroidered blocks from George Washington to George W Bush. It was done around 1995 by Johnny Bradley. They wanted the quilt to be seen and appreciated. We think we have found the perfect place which means that place will have to wait for Lancaster to return. We do have a spot for the time being. She hand embroidered all the blocks.
I don’t know about other museums but our Museum feels a lot better filled with happy noises. What do you think?
