Just a quick note to let you know about this terrific tutorial for honeycomb smocking on Tumbling Blocks. It’s an excellent picture tutorial for a really neat smocking technique. It makes it look really easy and fun! I hope you enjoy it!

Yep, MGM, I like the neat, crisp look, too.
bye bye to old smocking thanks for this idea
