Since my daughter & son in law, Nova & Andy emigrated to live in Australia 15 years ago, Nova has always said she has got used to the hot Christmases and other key dates except for September. Having been brought up on a hop farm September is and always will mean only one thing…… ‘hop picking’ and heralding the start of autumn. So with this in mind I sent Nova some of my new ‘hoppy’ fabrics to play with hoping she would have fun with them and a mini hop picking celebration of her own. This is what she has made with the bits and pieces in the mixed bunch of hop fabrics.
The t-cosy made me smile and the little pincushion so sweet. Thank you Nova for sharing!
Hop fabrics available here & the book pincushion pattern is available from Patchwork Pottery.
