Christmas Stocking Exchange (199)

Sew I know some of these Christmas posts are coming late but I felt the need to share them with all of you anyway 🙂 Hope that’s okay. It still feels like Christmas while I’m posting this message as it’s -25 degrees C and I still have my Christmas decorations up around the house (that is my project for tonight).

As you know a while ago I posted looking for a free Stocking pattern and Sandra B send me the new one by Robyn Pandolf – thanks so much Sandra.

Here’s the one I made and I filled it with a pair of Gingher scissors, 4 pin wheels ornaments, sewing machine needles and more…

 

Here’s a group shot of some of the other ones

Here’s the one I received from Christine, thanks sew much I LOVE it!

Until next time stay happy and creative with this tip:

All you need to make a quilt is material, a needle, thread and scissors. Gadgets are neat, but they add to the cost.

My New Christmas Stocking (197)

Sew for this Christmas I received something that is sew special it came right from my mom’s heart and stitching soul, just for me…she said she’s been working on it for approx 3 years…You have to know my Mum, when she says she’s working on something she isn’t just working on that, she’s making 25 aprons, 15 pie totes, 30 sets of pot holders, 100 pinwheel tree ornaments, half a dozen pin cushions and sew much more, plus she’s working on several block of the month projects and whatever else she feels like starting because she wants new fabric to cut up!! She’s serious about sewing, stitching and quilting!! Her passion is in her very skin…now I know where I get it from, thanks sew much MUM!!

Here’s what she made for me…I cried it’s sew beautiful!

my favourite part: 

how about the cutest cat you ever did see 🙂

Until next time, say happy and creative with this tip:

Looking at Quilting books, magazines, even quilts hanging at a show can help you develop an eye for colour and design.
