A couple of charm packs by
Aneela Hoey and yardage from her line 'Little Apples'. I have a quilt planned for the charm packs but I will need to stitch most of her
stitchery designs first. This will be quite interesting. Maybe 1 design a month. that'll be a nice goal for next year.

Some lovely Blue Hill 'Colonial Poison Green and Cheddar' reproduction fabrics and Howard Marcus 'Collections for a Cause'.
'
He's Coming to Town' is really so pleasurable to work on. Intend to finish this before Bronwyn issues her 3rd Christmas stitchery design.
This was a pretty intense blouse to sew. A lot of hand sewing went into it. Mostly were like pin, hand baste and them machine or hand sew. I used Hong Kong finishing for my seams and that's a lot of work too but it's always good to try different seam finishes. The back neck facing was quite difficult to get right but I do like the details of the side vents, notched sleeves and back tie.
