What a Treat!

While on holiday I met up with a good friend, after we had eaten she handed me a couple of carrier bags containing 'sewing bits' that had belonged to her mother Mary. Mary died 2-3 years ago when in her 90's, she had been a great sewer and knitter and I remember her knitting clothes for my eldest daughter when she was small. 
Well I didn't look into the bags until yesterday and what a treat!!  
I am sure Hadley from http://flyingblindonarocketcycle.blogspot.com/ will love the look of the Hexies!
