307S Curved log cabin cushion Sunday 7th July
Erla Cilliers
Session: 2 x 3hr
Level: Intermediate

Erla was instantly hooked on quilting the moment she was first exposed to this textile art form in
2000. In her day job she has a lot to do with training; therefore, obtaining her SAQG Quilt Teacher
Accreditation in 2015 was inevitable. Erla loves clever quilts, quilts with unexpected secondary
designs, and ones with three dimensional elements. If you leave Erla’s class feeling empowered and
enthusiastic, she will be happy.

DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is a fun project using a triangular curved log cabin design which ends up as a hexagonal-shaped
cushion cover. The end result will depend on which corner of the triangle goes into the centre. The
main technique is foundation paper piecing, and the aim is to experience the possibilities of the
curved log cabin.
