Episode 219 In Which I Just Can't Stop 4-14-24
Episode 218 In Which I Lean into a Mistake 4-1-24
Just for a refresher, here’s the link to the Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin ruler.
In the picture below (photo credit Creative Grids) you’ll see what I’m describing as the trim lines being dotted versus solid lines. If only that last line had been dotted! My brain was fully trained after so many rounds of trimming based on the solid line that the logic that the ruler didn’t actually end there never wormed its way into my brain. Surely that should be written up as some sort of psychological test somewhere. “How many quilters will stay fully focused on the solid line even when all logic points in another direction?”
Episode 217 In Which We Get Wonky 3-23-24
Welcome to Episode 217! You’ll hear more about my adventures in log cabin world and yes, a few more mess-ups. But it’s all good.
Episode 216 In Which I'm Log Cabining 3-17-24
Hello, World!
In this episode, I talk briefly about what kept me away since my last episode, but mostly talk quilty!
Referenced in this episode:
Janome 1/4” sewing foot with guide
Janome 1/4” sewing foot without guide
I can’t find the 1/4” foot I have with the red lines online—maybe it’s discontinued. This one is close, but it has the flange guide that mine does not have.
Oops. On the episode I referred to the tape I was using as “tiger tape” but it’s diagonal seam tape from Cluck Cluck Sew. Tiger tape is the one you use in embroidery/hand sewing to give you even lines.
The “seam guide doohickey” I mentioned in the episode is the Guidelines4Quilting Seam Guide Setter.

Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool (10”)
Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tool (this link is for 6” and 12” on the same ruler—there are multiple options here too)

In terms of show notes, I didn’t really mention any in the episode but here are two videos for you: One is a tutorial on binding (just in case you don’t know how to do it), and the one below it shows how to use the Fons and Porter Binding Tool that I’ve used for years and absolutely love. Then, below that, there’s a link for where to buy it.
