Welcome to The Rosettes: Y Rhosglymau
The Rosette kits and what to do
In your kits you have seven hexagon templates, a needle & thread and some Welsh heritage fabric - please feel free to use any of your own fabric too, something you find beautiful or that has meaning to you. Other than your paper backing, scissors (and glue if you choose this method), this is everything you need to create your rosette.
Emily’s video tutorial below will guide you through the process of creating your rosette.
For the backing of your rosette, please use paper that has meaning to you. Whether you would like to write or draw something, or use letters, photos, leaflets or cards, we are keeping the paper backings in place so this quilt can tell your stories.
If you would like some journalling prompts designed specifically for this project, there is a document available to download from the button below.
