Part of the Christmas meeting at one of the quilt guilds I attend was a stocking exchange. We were given the pattern earlier and were to make a stocking and add up to $10 of goodies inside.
I made this:
At the meeting, all the stockings were laid out on a table. So cute!!
We had numbers drawn out of a “hat” (ie box) and got to choose a stocking in order. About 25 or so members played along and had made stockings. I was pleased that #6 chose my stocking. I had added in a set of good pins, hand needles, and filled the toe with Dove chocolates. 🙂 (I went over the limit…)
I had #17 and there were still all lovely stockings left. One was bigger than the others and I thought I’d choose that one but then found this blue one. 🙂
Inside the stocking was a charm pack of red & white fabrics with winter prints… snowmen, etc. Cute! And I know who made it so that is extra-special. (I don’t know many in this group but they are always nice to me.)
We had a potluck supper and a short meeting where we got to see the guild’s raffle quilt. Let me know if you want tickets. 🙂 The drawing for the quilt will be October 2015 at our guild quilt show.
and sew on... 
I like your red one best of all! But they are all pretty. Yours is more reusable.
I love the stocking you made! So nice to see the pictures and the raffle quilt looks great. Yep, nice to you, even though you can quilt better than most. LOL It give the rest of us something to strive for.
Aww.. thanks Diane!
