In between finishing my large quilt and a new cross stitch project, I've also been making new EPP hexagons: basting random bits of scrap fabric (mostly Kaffe Fassett Collection and/or other Free Spirit designers), I now have about 50 hexagons and more coming.

And thanks to a Zine made by @Kiki, I have found a possible new project: a Hex-Map!

How cool!

Mae Alfred wedi i helpu fi sortio'r hecsagonau. Mae'r holl gwilt yn rhy fawr i gynllunio yn un darn, felly, dyn ni wedi rhannu yn chwarteri. Dwi ddim eisiau cael dau ddarn tebyg wrth ymyl ei gilydd. #Clytwaith#Cwilt

Alfred has helped me sort the hexagons. The whole quilt is too big to plan in one piece, so we've divided it into quarters. I don't want to have two similar pieces next to each other. #Patchwork#Quilt

This is my new quilt project. About 450 yellow or golden hexagons. I'm going to sew them together randomly, and hopefully, it will look like a honeycomb. #Patchwork#Quilt

Yesterday I was unwrinkling my brain with embroidery, and redid this flower at least three times before I was happy with it, and then something clicked and it felt like I unlocked another level on the embroidery skill tree... Anyway, it's not done yet, but I think it might turn out pretty nice!

#Embroidery#Patchwork

Top down photo of an old fashioned shape flower embroidered on a patchwork block. It's done in vibrant mixed hues, and vaguely has the look of traditional embroidery and motifs on folk dress and 18th century inspired nature prints, but due to the colours and background looks pretty modern also. An outline has been backstitched in variegated embroidery floss, in four different colourways, and this has then been partially filled in with chain stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and split stitch, giving it a bunch of different textures that nonetheless go nicely together. One leaf of two has a bit of satin stitch fill in it, in a vibrant teal pine green, matching the little patch of fabric right below it. It's not a grand piece of art, but it looks fairly intentional and dynamic all in all! Sini's fingertips in frame, she has shortened her nails.

Look. It may be that this embroidery thing has gotten slightly out of hand.

A little patchwork block that is getting a bundle of flowers embroidered on it. There's three little calendula looking pale lavender colour flowers, and dark tiny green leaves are currently being applied onto some of the stalks already sewn. There's three stalks without anything on them, currently. The scraps of fabrics used for the patch are yellow, brown, orange, beige, green, pink, red and black and white. A tiny little bit of gray blue is also present, so very nearly the entire rainbow. Sini's pale hands in frame, for colour and size reference. The block is about 16cm times 16cm.

Small spools of little lengths of the same threads arranged on a desk. The small bits are easier to split, for sewing with only a couple of strands, and it's nicer to work with just these little bits on the desk versus safeguarding the whole box from cat interference and such. There's only the range of colours in current use, which is to say some 38 individual colours.

Top down photo of a sewing supplies tin just absolutely chock full of little bundles of embroidery thread in pretty much every colour of the rainbow, haphazardly arranged by hues and values. There's thread bundles on the lid, and the box itself has at least two layers of them. The colours all look delicious together and are a source of serotonin for fans of colours and thread and multiple instances of the same thing, hitting that gatherer brain real good.

Dwi wedi gwneud darn o ddefnydd clytwaith ar gyfer ffrwnt y clawr botel dŵr poeth. Wna i ddefnyddio defnydd plaen ar y cefn. Mae darn 'ma yn fwyaf na dwi angen, wna i dorri i'r maint cywir. #Clytwaith

I've made a piece of patchwork material for the front of the hot water bottle cover. I will use plain material on the back. This piece is bigger than I need, I'll cut it to the right size. #Patchwork

Diweddariad #Clytwaith. Dw i wedi gwneud pedwar panel clytwaith gwallgof fel hwn, i fynd o gwmpas y cwilt. Nawr, rhaid i mi rhoi brodwaith o hyd y gwniadau.

#Patchwork update. I've made four crazy patchwork panels like this, to go around the quilt. Now, I have to embroider along the seams.
