One hundredth post, and ...... it's about hexagons

Still blogging at 100 posts, so better than 85% of starter bloggers apparently.
Hexagons from the Jen Jones Quilt Collection. a velvet and silk quilt made for a friend by another who was emigrating. These hexagons are about 1 inch in diameter ( can a hexagon have a diameter?), so this was a true labour of love.

Stitched over papers, and then hand appliqued to the velvet with feather stitch . The long contrasting stitches around the inner edges of the hexagons are a lovely touch.

West Wales, stitching and inspiration

Superb , if wet, visit to Penbryn in Wales. Highlights were:

loads of beaches within walking distance or a short drive

great big communal campfires and amazing sunsets at night

activities if you want them, nothing if you don't.... AND, ....

• the Jen Jones Quilt Welsh Quilt Centre about 30 minutes drive away. This will have a separate post, as it was so inspiring


• a visit to Melin Tregwynt, with a little retail treat

• more hexagons
