Hey Gang!
Thanks for the confidence boost yesterday. It made me realise that sewing shouldn't be about symmetry, but sewing for the fun, for the creation, and for the experience.
So while I didn't resume sewing yesterday, I was still a little tainted by the whole evening, I did think more about my objective. Today, I just thought - heck, both smalls are a-sleeping, I'm going to throw caution to the wind and get into it.
I finally decided on a sort of (very, very) vague 'log cabin'. Now don't get your knickers in a knot, I know it's not traditional stylie. Nor do I even suggest you can see this interpretation. It's just going to be a little hotch-potch pulled together cushion. I'm not terribly good at the construction part (or any part to be honest), but it's my first one and I'm flying solo. However, my favourite cheer squad leader has been telling me 'you're doing great sewing Mummy', and 'you're sewing really fast, aren't you Mama?'. I mean, who wouldn't want to make something for someone who encourages you with such positive affirmations? I could be convinced to make him anything if he keeps that up. Even a Percy cushion.

So not a log cabin - I think it is the Doctor patch and I think that it rocks, and so will he. Who needs Percy to achieve 4 year-old love.
fantastic, i LOVE it & i am glad you didn't listen to the teacher!
Well I am impressed and I LIKE IT. Really funky! See you can do it!
Looks great! Much more daring than I would be, which I envy and am inspired by.
It looks very impressive! I love the fabrics you've used - so happy and colourful.
It looks great. Absolutely sew for love!
I don't even know what a log cabin looks like. This is looking pretty cool. I love your boy's positive affirmations. So cute.
love it, it's like coloring out side the lines. freedom!
ooh it's lovely! and with a cheer squad and all. you don't need teacher (or percy).
Yah! You can go you own way...go your own way.
Whoops sorry too busy singing. It's fabulous!
Love it. Sewing is a heartfelt exercise - you're doing great.
Well done! It's great. I wish I had a cheer squad like yours!
Pure beauty. Perfectly balanced; just not symmetrical, see?
Well done.
I don't know different theories of frigging quilting. What I DO know is that looks good. And the Dr is King. xx
