Smocking.

This tree close to where we live, is the first one to start to turn colour for when we are getting closer to the start of cooler weather and fall's arrival.
Found some sock yarn, will be making hubby a pair of socks for Christmas. Enought time to work on it before then, perfect for travel and a good project to take along.
Pulled the smock dress pieces out the rubbermaid which just needs the smocking embroidery still.
The second one is a green and red paisley fabric. It has the front and the back which is smocked. The back is what is called reverse smocking, keeping the shape of the pleats.
Found the backing fabric and an extra piece for the playmat reading pillowcase.
It is pinned and ready for machine quilting.
