My feet are warm and snug in log cabin slippers, it's like having a little quilt for your toes! I used Ayumi's clever pattern from Stitch Magazine (Summer 2011). You can get a PDF of the pattern here. I'm a UK size 7 and have quite wide feet, I made the large size and there's a little room for wiggling my toes so feel super comfy.
I used the most beautiful Nani Iro binding from Miss Matatabi, which inspired my colours for the log cabins. For the soles I used Slipper Gripper, which I thought might be hideous to quilt through but my walking foot dealt with it no problem.

I picked out some of my favourite fabrics, in colours I love and those little Denyse Schmidt flowers in the centre make me smile.

Happy feet.

Leave it to a quilter to make quilted slippers! Love your colour choices!
ReplyDeleteI love these slippers! Even the bottoms of them are adorable! Great binding choice too.
ReplyDeleteThey really do look cozy and they are so adorable! Nice job! Loving the ink on the foot too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a slipper wearer, but these slippers are so cute I might just have to change my ways! Adorable!
ReplyDeletesuper cute!
ReplyDeleteLove it! My "spuds" (house shoes that look like my feet are sunk into baked potatoes) are falling apart, so maybe I need to book mark this pattern for reference!
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic Lucy!! I love the fabric you chose, and it looks like your slipper gripper stuff handled going through the machine a bit better than mine.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those slippers are ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteThey are really cool! Looks like a fun make and they'd be a fantastic present for a quilter!
ReplyDeleteyay for wearing patchwork! I love that the center patch of each logcabin block is a diffeent colorway of the same print :)
ReplyDeleteI love the slippers! So cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your slippers, so cozy and happy looking. Perfection for sure.
ReplyDeleteYay, cute and cozy. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love these!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant, Lucy! I LOVE them :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! I have this pattern too, but haven't attempted yet. :) they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed!
ReplyDeleteOooh, yes toes would be deliciously cozy in those slippers! Nicely done, Lucy!
ReplyDeleteThey are the coolest slippers!! Are you going to make pairs for the whole family?
ReplyDeleteTheses are so cute - I need to make myself a pair for winter!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your slippers! This style of slipper is just what I was looking for. Are they fairly easy to make? Would you make them again?
ReplyDeleteLucy! These are so cute! I tried a pair a couple of years ago and did not have much luck....not Ayumi's pattern though. I need to find that! They are just adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great Lucy. You did a great job
ReplyDeleteOooh my those are fabulous. 2 degrees here at night and no central heating so I'm sticking with my ugg boots though!
ReplyDeleteI made these for my sis a couple of years ago but they didn't turn out as pretty as yours and I struggled with the slipper gripper stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous slippers. I already have plenty for myself but I think a few pairs of these would be so handy to have as guest slippers.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on the last week:
ReplyDeleteLOL at the fabric fishing expedition, I feel like throwing fabric over my head sometimes too, and love the slippers.
PS, your link to the slipper gripper doesn't work try http://www.plushaddict.co.uk/all-fabric/specialist-fabrics.html
Love, love, love - Chris :D
ReplyDeleteYour slippers are fabulous! Thanks for the link to the PDF pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour scheme on these and definitely need to get some of that nani iro binding..wow!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your quilted slippers, Lucy!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous Lucy!
ReplyDeleteCan you go into large scale production please? I think we would all love a pair!
ReplyDeleteThey look like oven mitts for your feet. But I bet they're warm.
ReplyDeleteThey fit better than oven mitts too!
DeleteThose are truly the most beautiful slippers I've ever seen! You need to have a pair of slippers for your pair of slippers so you don't spill tea on them or get them dirty!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Don't they look fab? What a super idea - love the little Slipper Gripper, too. Way cute.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! I just screamed out loud (in a good way) LOL! Love these so much-well done you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome project
ReplyDeleteTruly the most beautiful slippers I've ever seen! interlocking cabins
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love these - I must get some slipper gripper
