Snowy Log Cabin Throw and Wall Hanging

It’s getting to be that time of year, not only when it snows but when customers want custom personalized quilts for gifts.

Since custom personalized quilts can take three months from when details are finalized, they are not an option for this year’s holiday season.

There is an excellent alternative, though, and that is to purchase a ready made handmade quilt and have custom embroidery added.

One of my personal favorites is this Snowy Log Cabin Throw and Wall Hanging. A traditional patchwork quilt design in elegant white, off white and cream cotton fabrics, this 50x60 inches throw is the perfect size to curl up in on a cold winter - dare I say - snowy day.

Finished with hand quilting where the fabric seams come together, this soft all cotton lap quilt would be pretty both hanging over the back of a sofa or chair. It can also easily be used as a quilted wall hanging.

Versatile handmade quilts have a flat fabric sleeve on the back that can easily be threaded through a curtain rod for wall decor.

This elegant throw and wall hangings can easily be made custom by adding custom embroidery. Since this example has an hombre blue fabric as well, blue thread would be a nice option.

Embroidery shops offer a variety of fonts, here are the ones we have. The name of the font is the embroidered example.

Of all of the fonts, Zapf Chancery is the top favorite followed by Diane Script.

Curly font is a great choice for baby quilts followed by Cooper font.

Regardless of what font you choose, adding custom embroidery is an easy way to turn a quilt into a custom personalized quilt.
