Going "Crazy-Patch Christmas Stocking" Crazy.....

With the quilt show over and out of the way, I'm heading full tilt into my Christmas stocking frenzy.....I am making 4 stockings for my sister's family. I made one for her granddaughter last year and now they all want one. The cutting room floor......what a mess!
Laying out Peter's

Stuff for Dorothy's....red, green, white, and gold.....not started yet

Trims and lace and ribbons everywhere I look....

....I love all this stuff!
Abi's in progress
Peter's in progress.....I still have to do hand stitching and fancy stuff on all of them once the fabric and lace are in place.

3 in progress.....Mary's didn't photograph well, but it will be beautiful when it is done! 1 more to get the fabric on and then I can relax and do the fun stuff.....beads, ribbon embroidery, crazy stitching, buttons......
I'd better get busy if these are going to be done by Thanksgiving!

Sandy: I know what you mean....and these aren't gifts...my sister commisioned them from me, so I still need presents, too!

Really enjoyed looking through your blog. I have done a small amount of patchwork & quilting in the past but nothing to the scale you've been putting together.
Very inspirational.
Hope you've nearly completed the Christmas stockings.
I have some made up from a previous year but they are waiting for cross stitch names to be added. Maybe I'll use them this Christmas.

Kind Regards
