A Bluestocking Knits

Well, it has been a while, and a lot has been happening, and I’ve blogged none of it — sigh. I even meant to post this yesterday! There are lots of reasons, most of them valid — we spent three weeks in New Zealand and Australia which was lovely (I’ll post some photos later), then the holidays were upon us, my laptop had some issues so that I couldn’t download the photos from my camera or my phone, &c. &c. &c.

But — here is something I’ve been doing in the meantime, hand-stitching the top for an “Annie Cushion” from Treehouse Textiles. I was going to say “my first and last” hand-stitching project, as I didn’t really enjoy the process much, I confess, though after pressing it and seeing that it turned out much tidier than I expected (!), I’m a bit more optimistic. (I didn’t get to visit the shop in person — alas — but had the cushion kit and a low-volumes bundle send to my friend’s house, “quite northwards” though still in Melbourne. The low-volumes fabrics are for a “Lucy Diamond” quilt-to-be …)
