Hand quilted hexagonal pins

I’ve always loved quilts and I have a special fondness for hexagonal patterns such as “my grandmother’s flower garden”. Hexagons remind me of organic chemistry, biology and life in general; honey combs, bees, flowers, on to life and the abundance. They have a bit of a sci-fi aesthetic as well.

I am new to quilting so I really don’t have much experience finishing big pieces yet. I have quite a few hand sewn blocks (after many hours of sewing while watching star trek TNG), but I still need a few more to finish an actual quilt.

While procrastinating from that time consuming project I’ve created a lot of  small and interesting things by using the same techniques to explore tessellations and constructed forms in three dimensions. I’ll post some photos of these experiments shortly, once I get them off the removable drive.

I also welcome  custom orders!
