My Love Entwine centre is still where it was a month ago sadly I’m snowed under with other commitments but I will get back to it when I stay home long enough????
When I was looking for some thing on Sunday morning to carry in my bag while waiting in waiting rooms I found this tiny hexagon reversible bag I started a couple of years ago????? It was very fiddly and when I had nearly finished sewing all the hexagons together (you needed to make two bags to make it reversible) I made a mistake and sewed the last few hexagons in the wrong place, started to unpick it and cut the fabric!!!!! So put it away in rather than keep making mistakes and forgot all about it. Sunday night i sat and unpicked and sewed and sewed, nearly have the two wee bags finished just one hexagon to sew and then I can join them to make it a wee completed bag. My hexagons are 1″ sided and made of silk. I have seen it made with 1/2″ sided hexagons!!!!!!!
you start with a hexagon flower then add 6 more but you have to sew there side to, to pull them up in to the pouch!!!!!
Add two more then one more for the flap.

Annes Memory Bag.
Bag looks big but is only 12″ deep 11″ wide and a 3″ gusset.
Front of bag
Side view of gusset made with one of Anne’s Hubbies ties with his initial added. You can see his belt that I have threaded around the top of the bag. I have a couple of more loops to add at the back to tuck this end piece in to. I used Hungarian stitch for working the L.
I was not sure how to use the rest of the buttons so added them to the other side of the bag gusset going from largest to the smallest?????
Back view and here you can see his belt clearly and where it needs those extra loops.
Front with front flap folded back to show the buckle and belt, sure looks like a wee kilt here!!!!!

First of our wild life back for the wet season. Green tree frog he is around 3″long
This wee fell does not get bigger than 1″ but makes more noise than the big frogs!!!!! Some times we will have up to 100 of them in the yard and we have to close the windows to sleep!!!!!!!
Some of the trees in flower at present on my way down to the beach.
Last Wednesday I was in our capital and saw these beautiful windows wouldn’t they make a wonderful quilt?????? They were in the Queen Victoria building
