Pelican Quilts Blog
Essays, How Tos, & Behind the Scenes
Pelican Quilts is a blog for people who enjoy the creative process and want to see how a quilt evolves from a rough idea to the finished piece.
It’s for lovers of quilts, craft, and those interested in the behind the scenes aspect of crafting, color, and design.
Faith in the Language of the Quilt
Over the last few years I have been studying the Log Cabin Block inspired by the ways that these quilters broke that block open and created some of the most surprising works of art. I’ve stared at a hundred of these quilts and I’ve made a hundred of my own. To me, what they accomplished with this block is a kind of miracle. Their quilts are impossible. Something that could only be born of faith and fantasy.
