I'm my own worst enemy....my cup runneth over with unfinished projects, yet I took on another. The Hub's daughter asked if I made Christmas stockings? I never have, with 3 of my own children and 4 grandchildren, I'd never made anyone a stocking. I'd bought the premade needlepoint stockings with their names embroidered on them. Had I taken on the stocking project, my youngest child at 23 still wouldn't have a stocking to date.
This was a little different, Kate wanted a quilted stocking - something "cutesy and girly" for her new baby girl. Hmm, ok - sure, I'm up for the challenge. At All People Quilt I found a Joy-Stocking pattern I liked. Didn't care for the "Joy" applique, so I left it off. Added heel and toe caps and elfish looking trim around the top. This is what I came up with.....
Yep, cutesy & girly!!
