Good on Alex from Knit R Done blog for making this wonderful heartfelt Log Cabin pieced pillow while working out some difficult emotions related to being left behind while her spouse is deployed overseas.

Here is Alex’s description of her project before it was completed (the original plan was to make a quilt top):

I finished the piecing for my camouflage quilt top. I decided that I’d rather have a giant, huggable pillow than a tiny quilt. The pocket is for love letters. The pink words are the lyrics to “Stand by your man.” The center of a log cabin square represents the hearth. Military wives are left behind to tend those fires. Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman…

Alex, thank you for sharing your finished pillow at Craft Gossip flickr group. May your love letter pocket be overflowing soon. Hang in there!
