Vintage Log Cabin



When I saw that Amy had posted a picture of a quilt made by her grandmother as her entry in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival I just had to share this beautiful quilt.  Sadly I cannot claim it as my own.  When I visited New Zealand two years ago I stayed at a wonderful place called Kahoe Farms in Northland.  This quilt was in the kauri farmhouse where we stayed and had been made by the owner, Lyndsey's, mother and is a fantastic example of original quilting with old fabrics and a make do and mend style.  It includes fabrics of various weights and is a gorgeous, classic log cabin quilt in a real log cabin!
