This is the question from Janice: like you I just love the look of the log cabin and am about tho venture down this road.  Can you tell me - is the strips cut on the bias or just straight across?   Here is our answer:
ALWAYS  assume that strips are cut ACROSS your fabric unless you are told otherwise - when you cut down the grain is very unforgiving and when you cut on the bias your quilt will  wave!!!

There are five Fridays in this month – so lots to view – and we start off by continuing to wander round the Textiles in Focus (2013) exhibition where we meet up with Lynda Monk who demonstrates how she used Lutradur and puff  paint;  and  Jean Wright who is also demonstrating – but this time her love is goldwork;   we also enjoy more of the Fen Edge Textiles exhibition that was on display.

Here is the question: Hi, I have a Brother RH127 sewing machine, can you please tell me what size needle I require to stitch denim. I shall be making a denim patchwork cushion cover so will need to stitch through more than one layer. Kind regards, My answer was that I would try a denim needle (or on reflect a jeans needle) size 90/100 as these are robust.
