Stockings for Kids

Last minute project.  I have had this on my "to do" list for two months now, but nothing like waiting until the very last minute to actually get it it done.  Pathetic.  I stitched this baby up yesterday, and it was nice to actually start and finish a project.  Seems lately I tend to not finish very much at all, without starting something new.  Today was the deadline to get it in the mail, and I am happy to say that I met the deadline!

The basic pattern can be found over at Purple Panda Quilts (click on the button below) and was super easy to make, though I did put the hanging loop in the wrong spot, it still works, so I left it alone.  This stocking is going to a foster child so that they can have their own stocking that they can keep themselves, even though they may move around year after year.  I thought it was a super sweet idea, and knew I could contribute since I have an insane amount of Christmas fabric!  I certainly hope that whatever child receives this, loves it because I certainly made it with love.  Awww....so cheesy.

I used the Merry and Bright collection by Sandy Gervais and used fusible fleece on both the front and the back.  I stuck with simple machine quilting on both the front and the back, and I just love this collection of fabrics together.  This stocking is lined with the same fabric that I used for the cuff and it is a nice large size for filling up with lots of goodies!  Now that I have started on my holiday projects, hopefully I can keep my momentum going!  How are your holiday projects coming along?  The countdown begins today folks!

Very nice indeed!

Several people have mentioned fusible fleece in the last couple of days; I have never heard of it!

Sweet stocking! Great cause too.

I'm trying to stay focused, but I keep getting distracted by other projects!

Marci, your stocking is awesome! I love those fabrics, especially the one on the back and the little aqua-ish trees. Great work!

Love your stocking! I just made one for my baby girl yesterday and it's very similar to yours. Crazy, huh?

I saw we were in the same Flickr pool so I wanted to stop by and say 'hello'. I started following your blog. Come by my blog and poke around! Follow if you'd like. I love followers!
