Log Cabin Home! |
As some of you know, my husband & I love a place in Millersburg Ohio called Tranquil Acres. They have 3 log cabins that they rent out to visitors. We have stayed in the one called Shady Maple. We truly love to go over there & I decided I wanted to stitch a log cabin for the owners. They are such sweet & caring people.

The one I found is by Funk & Weber Designs & is called Twilight Treasures. I edited it to suit what I wanted to stitch. I stitched it on a remnant piece of fabric that I got at House Of Stitches in LaPorte IN the last time I was there. It is jobelan & is called Denim Blue. I left the tag on it, so you can see it!!! The remnant was on sale for 1/2 price, so you see, I got this piece of fabric very cheap!!!!
I used all of the called for flosses, except for the brown. For some reason, I didn't have that DMC color or it was kitted with another project. So, I went to my supply of Victorian Motto Sampler flosses & chose a brown I thought looked good.
I think I am going to make this into a small pillow, but I haven't decided yet. It is going to be very hard to give this away....I really love how it turned out!
have a great week & thanks for visiting my blog!

Have a lovely week.
Oh goodness, that looks so welcoming with the chimney smoking, you did a super job on this Shari.
A wonderful finish, and I love the blue fabric!!
I've gain more knowledge and good information from your post thanks
it does look similar. very cute.
Great match....you can always stitch it twice!:-)
That is such a thoughtful and kind gift, Shari! I know the owners will love your gift--I bet they'll hang it right in "your" cabin and you can see it each year when you visit :)
