Christmas in August

So Cute!




I started these stockings in January. I got the fronts all pieced together, but that was as far as I got, until this weekend. I decided to take a quilting class and I thought I had better finish the stockings before I start something new, so I got them out and finished them this weekend. (No names yet. I can't decide whether to stitch their names on myself or have someone machine embroider them on.) I was so proud of myself for finishing them (and I think they did turn out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!) that I decided to make Kaylee this headband I found instructions on someone else's blog. The headband turned out great too. Love them all!

Look at you Candice, being all domestic! Go girl! What a summer. Have you started back to school yet? We did. Now if it would just cool down! Steph

So cute, Candice! Was that a "flip and sew?" I made the same kind of stockings for my crew. They are so easy. Thanks to my mother-in-law who is a genius of a quiltmaker/sewer she helped me get these done a couple of years ago. She had all the fabric on hand (she literally has buckets and buckets and cupboards full of fabric) and we used a quilted corduory backing. They turned out really cute.

They are beautiful Candice! What talent you have! A few years ago I took stockings that I had purchased to Midtown Sports on Main Street to have names sewn on. They did an incredible job and it was reasonably priced too!

You have a great looking family!

Krista,
I have no idea what "flip and sew" means! I really don't know much about how to really sew. I just pretty much had to figure it out myself with a little guidance from my sister who made some for her fam last year.
