I wonder what that says about me...LOL. <BR/>I had to chuckle while reading about your dad because it brings back memories of my grandmother. In the beginning stages of Alzheimer's, she would walk to the grocery store almost every day and purchase oranges. When we'd visit her on Sundays, her fridge would be stuffed to the gills with oranges. It was at that point that we realized grandma was starting to have a problem. <BR/>Bless your dad and you too for having the patience to deal with dimentia. It's not easy.<BR/>I also love Kumiko Sudo's books too. I only have one, Kokoro No Te, and I love looking at her handsewn lovelies. I do confess that I haven't made any projects from her book yet despite having purchased it over 3 years ago.<BR/>Your latest projects are so cute. I love the idea of using the zipper as a handle for your bag. Do I see beading on the handle too? Very cute!<BR/>I love your scissor cozy too and the fabric combination that you've chosen. Very beautiful and great vibrant colors.<BR/>Regarding the segmented folded hexagon...Think of a pie sliced in six pieces. Join pieces of fabric to resemble a pie. To begin folding, bring the seam between two colors to the center point and then continue folding it the way I show in my tutorial. It should turn out like the hexagon on my needlebook. If you have any questions, please let me know.<BR/>Have a nice day.<BR/>Aloha,<BR/>LettieArlettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539325996669591505noreply@blogger.com
