This is the lovely page I received from Jo
and the first things that immediately caught my eye were the beautiful hexagons and the title......and my own title immediately sprung to mind........because I already had some photos I wanted to scrap........and 'A patchwork of people' was the perfect theme.......and I've probably never started a page with a title before.......usually that is one of the last things I decide on!!!
But in March I was lucky enough to attend two events with fellow bloggers......first a Bloggers Crafting Weekend [and most of those lovely ladies who attended are taking part in this Blog Hop]......and then a lunch in London to meet Deb [over from Arizona] with nine other bloggers.
It was that second event that I had the photos all ready to scrap.
Because my first thoughts on seeing Jo's title were just how like a patchwork quilt the blogging community is.......
bright,colourful interlocking pieces......that join together to make something warm, comforting,secure and creative.
If you haven't arrived here from Jo's lovely blog......do pop back to Julie to start the hop and see all the twists and turns as the page progresses......and don't forget to leave everyone a comment.....there's a prize from Julie involved!
Thanks so much for joining us today.

Love the colors, the design, the title and the sentiment :)
This is fabulous Jacky - I love how you have turned this into something so uniquely you .. great subject matter too!
I have really enjoyed this hop and your page is stunning. A great way to remember a special day x
you seem to have captured that day so well in both pictures and sentiment. Wow how different is this from the original! The final page with 4 photos and a completely different look what a great blog hop! xxx
This is amazing! Lovely layout and I love your comparison with the theme of a patchwork of people.
That is SO apt.. that's how I feel about this great community of ours!
What a superb way to end, with sentiments like these! And it is really interesting just how your page links back to Mel's in the placing of the hexagon pattern, though you couldn't have known that at the time. I'm glad that your lovely day in London has found such great expression here ...
Love how you've taken on Jo's theme and created such a lovely layout. Yes,the blogging community is just like a patchwork and I'm so honoured to be a part of it xxx A perfect page to end the blop hop on.
Jacky, what an amazing way to end the hop. You have pulled it all together so perfectly..genius!
Love the inspiration page and love your take on it - the hexagons are fabulous! x
What a perfect page! It really does end the hop beautifully with the focus on blog community and friendship. I love how you used the hexagons and Jo's title to recall happy memories of those encounters.
A perfect theme to end the hop with ... and how great to take inspiration from the hexagons in that way. A lovely cosy page!
It started with a group of crafting bloggers, meeting in Milton Keynes and getting together for a blog hop. and has ended with a page about a wider circle of like minded crafty bloggers getting together in London. What a lovely page to end on. Thanks for joining in the celebration.
lovely LO
I love how my page gave you a jumping point to your own, this is a beautiful layout. I agree with the sentiment of bloggers as patchwork too and I love how perfectly the page has come together,

A lovely page recapping how it all began...
A perfect page and what a great analogy for the blogging community.
I love how you've tied the hop all together by making your page about the patchwork quilt of blogging friendships.
I love it, Jacky - it's a fab page, and it was a wonderful occasion. Just perfect for finishing up this blog hop! *happy sigh*... xx
What a great take on Jo's LO and the perfect subject :o) I will have to go back to the beginning when I have time to see how it all started. I began with Mel.

Like your journalling about bloggers - what a lovely thought.
Oh now this is the perfect page and sentiment to end the hop. I like the white pen stitching around the hexagons and the fitting together of the photos. Isn't it interesting how sometimes one aspect of this creative process jumps and we end up doing something a completely different way around?
I really love your take on jo's layout, it's great that you've made a patchwork quilt almost of friendship in this lovely, lovely layout
What a lovely page and it brought back such a happy day.
Love it Jacky! I love the hexagons and that you journaled directly on the page.
Love what you did with the hexagons and title. Great color choice, too.
