Sugar Plum Princess stocking for Bella.....2008

Bella with her stocking!
Finished! I started this a week ago.....sudden whim to get creative....and finished it today. Now to mail it in time for Christmas.....I hope! (click on any photo to enlarge) I call it the Sugar Plum Princess Stocking and it is for my great-niece, Bella. I love making crazy quilt type stuff and had so much fun doing this!
This is the back......more machine and less hand work.

Front....top


Front....middle


Front...toe!


Inside is just pink cotton and I thought I was getting my name and date a little lower than it ended up.

My quilting room is an absolute mess at the moment with all the stuff I used! But it is all very colorful!

Laces......


....embroidery thread....


......beads......


....heavier threads
What fun this was! However, next time I will start in July and enjoy the process a little more!

The worst part is that I have to mail it and won't get to show it to my quilting buddies!

I totally forgot to take any pictures of newest granddaughter Elizabeth's stocking before I sent it off! What was I thinking?

Katney: Don't you hate when you forget that? You will have to have them take photos and send them to you.
