Christmas Stocking Swap

Yesterday was opening day for Friends in Stitching's latest swap. This time we made Christmas stockings incorporating stitchery and/or applique. I received this lovely stocking from De.


 Love the little angel stitchery ...

 
 and the tassels are a nice touch.
 

Just found out from De that it is an Anni Downs design. Thank you De.

I made the stocking below for Vicki.


 It is a Marg Low pattern.



 
 I used Nancy Halvorsen's Jingle all the Way fabric for the backing ...


and lining.


and popped a couple of brighter fat quarters in the same print in the stocking.


Today I feel rather 'knackered' so having a pyjama day ... will do some hexies if I can stay awake!

    I like the stocking you made with all the stitched words on it. Makes a different and interesting stocking.

    Loved the stockings. It's hard to think of Christmas with the heat bearing down on us but the holiday will be here before we know it.
