My First Christmas Stocking

I have been meaning to make stocking for the

my family for the last couple years.

I was unable to find the

perfect stocking pattern.

I wanted them to be traditional looking

with a sweet cuff,

so I merged several ideas

into one stocking.

This is my first one that I have finished.

The fabric is Evergreen with a touch of 25th and Pine

by Basic Grey for Moda. 

The cuff and lining is  Kona Khaki.

I used 5 strips of Evergreen

from a jelly roll to make one stocking.

I used Aurifil 50 wt. thread to quilt the stocking body

and Aurifil 12 wt. in red to add decorative

straight stitching around the cuff.
For the batting, I used
Thermoweb's Stitch N Sew Fleece.
It has just the right amount of loft for the stocking.

I am personalizing all of our stockings

using HeatnBond® Lite.

So no wondering on Christmas day,

whose stocking it belong to.

I also made coordinating buttons,

I just love the finished look

of it and can't wait to

finish more of them.

I love the old time feel to this stocking.

If you haven't already grabbed your
Reindeer Games pattern,
you have a couple more days that it is free. 
You can find it here.

If you decide to make your own stocking
be sure to link it up to
 Nancy Zieman's  Christmas Stocking Sewing Challenge!

A Gift to you: Reindeer Games

As promised,

during Pat Sloan's Pod Cast,

I finished a little gift for all of you.

It will be free through the

end of November.

It is a super fast quilt to work up,

mine just took a bit longer because

I decided to hand quilt it with

12 wt. Aurifil in red. 

Love how it pops against the white. 

Enjoy all the holidays

that are on the way!

and

You can pick up

Reindeer Games, here.

Hugs,

Guest on American Patchwork and Qulting

I was completely shocked when I

received an email from Pat Sloan.

Yes, thee Pat Sloan to

be a guest on American Patchwork

and Quilting.

What a complete honor.

I have been so excited and

nervous.

I can

hardly contain myself.

(You can read more about my quilt in the picture above, here)

For my followers and all the

people that inspire me,

I wouldn't have kept on sharing if

it wasn't for all of you.

I would love for you to join me

this afternoon.  4 p.m. eastern

time right here at

All -People Quilt Podcast.

I also have been working

on a special pattern to be released

in the next few days,

just for the occasion.

I tried to finish it before the show,

but I wanted it to be perfect.

So you will have,

to wait for Reindeer Games.

It will be free for until the end of November,

just for this special event.
So stayed tuned for it.
