Regulations in New Zealand forbid me from driving for two weeks after my surgery so what am I going to do while imprisoned at home? Finish my Blue Hussif of course. So last night as the results of our General Elections rolled in and the Blue colour of the winning National Party filled the screens, I put the finishing touches to my Blue Hussif. I’m rather pleased with this one and it already has a safe place in my Cabinet of Wonders
I’m rather pleased with the detail on this - the covered button fastener mirrors the pattern exactly becoming almost invisible. And the attachment of the needle pages and pin cushion fit exactly the pattern of the quilting on the inside. Quite a fiddle to get all this correct but well worth the trouble.
I’ve now started on the last Christmas Ornament for this year. I’m not sure what the linen is - an oddment from my stash - but I’m stitching it over one and wondering why on earth I ever though this was a good idea? But sometimes it’s necessary to get the final item to a correct size for the tree. I’ll show progress later on this week.

That's beautiful! I love the button.
That is very pretty. I hope the surgery went well and that the surgeon's stitchery was as perfect as yours!
Beautiful!

That is beautiful! Such a lovely piece - real heirloom.
You must have put a lot of thought into this one, with how well it all fits together! Well done.
