Without 10 days of guaranteed wonderful sunshine to look forward to, I think I would go barmy. So thinking ahead, I decided to turn my hexies into a great big beach bag.
It's a whopping 21" from top to bottom, plenty of room to fit in all the towels, lotions, goggles and biscuits for a day at the beach...
It's going to make me happy to keep looking at it until we head off to sunnier climes!
I quilted the hexies onto some fusible fleece and used most of the remainder of my parent's curtains, so another bargain make, and my second FAL finish too. I promise, as soon as I go back to work on Monday, and-slash-or, the sun ever comes out again, my output is going to plummet, significantly!
This rainy afternoon though was spent cutting tiny pieces of Liberty and the rest of the fabrics for my Marcelle Medallion; a horrible job, but no-one else was going to do it for me. But now I am free to piece to my heart's content. Happy days xxx
Your hexies are just beautiful!
