A 6-Week Virtual Quilting Course

Modern Prairie's quilting journey began as we learned alongside Melissa and her beautiful Nine Patch. Since then, we Fumbled our way through the Fat Quarters, experienced some very Heartfelt Adventures, and surrounded ourselves with many Sunflower Surprises!  Now, we are ready to feel the warmth and love as we cross the threshold into Laura’s Log Cabin.

Join us for a six-week quilting journey beginning March 23rd inspired by the heart of the prairie and the timeless tradition of the log cabin quilt. Together, we’ll stitch, learn, and create Laura’s Log Cabin Quilt, a meaningful project designed to be both approachable and deeply satisfying.

This guided virtual course is perfect for quilters who love storytelling through fabric and want the support of a community as they work toward a beautiful finished quilt top.

Inspired by our Evening on the Prairie fabric collection, this kit reflects the timeless spirit of the American frontier—when handmade quilts brought warmth, comfort, and meaning into every home.

✨ Finished quilt size: approx. 84" x 100"
✨ Keepsake box size: approx. 11" x 12" x 3-3/4"
