Christmas Party


A Midnight Oil 
Christmas Party


The members of Midnight Oil Smockers gathered at Susan's beautifully decorated home for our annual Christmas Partygreat fun was had by all!



There was FOOD galore,      


Show and Share...



Susan has been busy hand embroidering a lovely Christmas ornament designed by Kathryn Holicky using Kreinik silk and metallic threads on a white 22 count Hardanger fabric.
































Susan also did 2 darling outfits for Christmas, this one a boy's two piece outfit by Gingersnaps and...





































this bishop from Children's Corner pattern featuring the smocking design 'Holly Berry Bishop' by Crosseyed Cricket. Can you believe this fabric was in her stash just at the time she needed it?







































Shirley used a book by Janice Shelton to create the Reindeer Pockets on this cute Children's Corner 'Lucy' jumper.




Beth made this precious 6 month onesie type garment as a gift for a friend. She loved the pattern from Wendy Schoen "Antique Baby Bubble" and embellished the outfit with embroidery from 'Blue Ribbon Baby'.  The white tatted trim was hand sewn.




Beautiful Workshop Accomplishments...




In September our chapter hosted a workshop with Jeannie Beaumeister highlighting the 'Round Tucked Yoke Dress'. These ladies all have completed this project! Talent is abundant in our chapter.
