Proud of these!

Sometimes you make something that you are really excited/proud of! I know they are just simple stockings, but I really LOVED the process of making them out of scraps!! All the material was already in my stash! The ONLY hard part about these, was that we have construction going on in our house (long story...mom moving in Jan 1st, 2013, so we are knocking the wall out between 2 rooms to give her her own bedroom and living area!) In the meantime all the stuff from my sewing room has been put in the garage....then my daughter moved out of the above mentioned bedroom and her stuff got put in the garage...plu my hubby got all the Christmas stuff down from the rafters and I have yet to put it in the house...so that is in/around my sewing stuff...so finding things needed for sewing, ie...thread, stabilizer, etc...has been challenging! These stockings were made for my niece and grand-nephew (that makes me sound so old)! I will be giving them to Sara and Ryder on Thursday!

The scraps came from this quilt (which I am giving to my sister Jackie as a hostess gift for having ALL of us over on Christmas Eve:

The back is already loaded on the frame (got Maxine Fabric--cuz Jackie and I think Maxine is hysterical)and I will be loading the front today and quilting on my midarm BAILEY!! Also made this covered tissue box for ME:

A finish, a Flimsy and a Prototype

Finished embroidering on Amanda's boss's new baby's teddy:

And while watching:

Which by the way, I think is good, but not as good as "Downton Abbey". Can't wait until January to see next seasons! I finished piecing the front of the Christmas Quilt":

Then with the scraps from this quilt, I made a prototype of the Christmas Stocking that I want to create. This first one is for my 1 year old grand-nephew, Ryder. The next will match for his mom (my niece), Sara!

And accompanying me today (yeah, right, (more like hindering) are my two big, goofy but lovable pets: Prinz:

And Bailey:

On My Design Wall

I just couldn't resist this cute Christmas material. The quilt is again "Enigma" pattern. It goes together so quickly, and showcases the cute material. I am not sure who is getting this quilt yet for Christmas, but I am hoping I can put it together by tomorrow so I can get on with a few more quilts I have planned for Christmas presents.
