“Foundation for a Log Cabin” by Linda Syverson Guild

“Foundation for a Log Cabin” by Linda Syverson Guild for the Log Cabin Focus Through the Prism Project QUITLING Challenge

I selected yellow this month because it possessed the warmth of the sun that would be shining on a log cabin, as well as being the heart of a fire within the cabin.  Then my architectural training influenced this version of a log cabin quilt.

The question at the core of this project was:  how can this piece suggest a story using the log cabin block?  The answer:  irregular blocks were constructed to suggest a sunlit stone (complete with mortar) for a building’s foundation.  After the ‘stones’ were quilted, the floor plan of a log cabin was rendered in thread in the center of the piece.  This quilt is a wall of stone with a log cabin built upon that foundation.

  1. Beautiful work. The thread painted floor plan of the cabin is so nice and I love the look of the stone floors. Yellow is a warm color!
