It would have been finished sooner, except I had a slight accident at our cottage and hurt myself and moving around and wanting to do anything was just put on the back burner. That accident is a long story, but a paddle boat, a dock and I had a fight and I lost! A trip to emerg. to make sure that nothing was broken but I was left badly bruised, banged up and a tad scared of what had happened. You know the saying about older folks being wiser ..... nope, that bit escaped me at that moment in time! LOL It is easy to laugh about it now, but things could have been much worse. Anyway, my body is on the mend and time and taking things easy will help to heal me.
Anyway, this hexie project travelled with me on vacation to Costa Rica where I enjoyed sipping on rum drinks by the pool while sewing those hexies. Yes, it already has a travelling history!
The bag was made using three challenge fabrics (donated by Northcott) and other complimentary fabrics could be used to complete our items. Monies raised from the silent auction go to our local hospital.
Have a great day!

Oh wow your tote turned out lovely. I hate when those mistakes happen mostly cause we are carefully paying attention. So glad it was a simple fix and it could raise some funds for charity. My MIL fell in Church a few weeks back and really messed up her shoulder. So glad you are ok and just ended up with bruises. Those heal without any after effects. Not sure my MIL shoulder will have the same outcome.
Ouch......hope you are feeling better. You're right, hurting ourselves is very easy to do! Your tote is lovely, interesting to see the finished article as I was there in the beginning when ideas were chasing each other around in your brain. To have your work sought after - now, that is a wonderful compliment.
OH, no! I'm glad you weren't injured more severely. Good luck was on your side. Your bad is great. I'm happy that one of your fans took it home. Just to let you know I've ditched some things in the corner too, and then later find it easier to unsew and start over.
Great job on the bag, hope it does well in the auction.
OH NO about your accident! Glad you were not more injured, and that you are on the mend. I hope there will be no long term effects. Your bag is gorgeous! I just love the colour combination. What a thrill to have a fan buy it.
OMG we are the same about throwing things sewn wrong. Glad you finished tho, it's a wonderful bag.
