"A cushion is a luxury, a journey, a memory or a dream " Rifat Ozbek
I have always had an obvious and large collection of cushions in my home. I grow so attached to each one and do feel sad when it is time to say goodbye. It would usually be because they had too much felt tip, Ribena or red wine on them and despite being gorgeous they would just have to go. Maybe I am so attached to each cushion because I have lovingly made it or because it reminds me of the wonderful holiday when I bought it.
Log cabin patchwork is an ancient technique but by combining these new and modern prints gives it a contemporary look.
Log cabin patchwork was traditionally not quilted as it was made with the small sections of old clothing which were usually too thick to be quilted. So glad I don't have to stick to those rules! I love quilting patchwork pieces. It instantly changes something quite flat into a luxurious piece of its own.
I love this combination of prints and colour. Which one is my favourite? .......... the last one I made is always my favourite!!!
