Hello lovely ladies,
Sorry I'm late but I've been trying to do this post on my Macbook but I don't seem to be able to drag photos. So back to the drawing board.....
Here is a blogpost from February 2015 when I had attended a Patchwork workshop. I made two cushion covers. One of them is still on my sofa to this day:

Hello lovely blog readers,
Saturday I went to our nearby town to do a beginner’s course in Patchwork. I’ve always wanted to do this.
In the morning we made a cushion cover with strips of material. (Log Cabin I think she called it) We sewed (by hand) onto a backing that had a pattern on it. Every piece on the backing was numbered to make it easy, and it felt a bit like ‘painting by numbers’. It really was easy.
This little chicken sat on the work table.
We were given the pattern so we can have a go at home with whatever scraps we have. She looks cute doesn’t she?
Here are a few action shots.
This is a shot of the shop. I was like a kid in a sweet shop! All those gorgeous fabrics! Lovely!
In the afternoon we started on the hexagons. That's very pretty but very labour intensive. In fact I haven't finished this project yet. It will be a cushion cover matching the one we made in the morning.
I shall definitely come back to this shop to buy more of these gorgeous fabrics and perhaps make a tote or a zipper bag. There are so many tutorials on the internet. I'm going to have some fun!
Thanks for visiting my blog,
See you soon!
Lisca

I remember you taking us to that shop, but I don't remember this specific post. It's amazing you are still using that pillow to this day. That one with the hexagons looks VERY labor intensive. Thanks for sharing this lovely workshop you took and the shop where it was located with us as your second look on the 2nd, dear Lisca.
Now I have tried patchwork quilting, and mine never come out either straight or with sharp corners. Your pillow is lovely Lisca, and I'm glad you shared it for Second on the Second. Hope all is well. hugs-Erika
