Sometimes you just need a bit of playtime.
I've been working my way through deadlines and secret sewing lately, and after finishing another project last night, I suddenly decided that I needed a break -- it was time to do something just for fun. I pulled out a pile of scraps from a recent project and went back to one of my favorite blocks of all time: the scrappy log cabin. Rainbow colors, simple straight line quilting, text prints...it checks all my happy boxes and makes such a beautiful pillow.
The back is a strawberry print by Emily Isabella for Birch Fabrics. I can never say no to strawberries.
So now this pillow is sitting on my favorite chair in the living room, waiting for me the next time I want to curl up with a good book. And I'm feeling refreshed and ready to go on again.
Playtime...always a good idea.
I went into my sewing space to tidy up, this afternoon, and ended up playing for half an hour. It is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteIt really is beautiful! I love a good scrappy log cabin block too :)
ReplyDeletePlaytime is a very important part of sewing time! It revives the spirit and renews the creativity!
ReplyDeleteLog Cabin blocks are my favorite 'de-stresser' too. Love your pillow - such cute fabrics included in there!
ReplyDeleteA cheerful pillow for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love that some of your logs have more than one colour or print in them. Most certainly a happy cushion!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a 'pattern' for this? It's so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous, fun and happy pillow! I just love everything about it. It really is nice to just be able to take some time and let your mind create anything that comes into it. I hope you find many hours relaxing with this pillow!!
