I have a goal to make a quilted stocking for each person in my family. Last year I managed to get these 2 made to match my tree skirt. If I can get 2 made this year then I'll only need to make 2 more next year and I'll be done.
My quilting guild learned to make these cute little bags this week. I made a handle for mine, and then forgot to sew it on - opps!
My DH has his truck engine all apart in the garage - putting in a new head gasket or something ... I should have a little more time to sew this week which is good because I promised to sew daughter #2 a halloween costume. She is very into the American Girl books/dolls and wants to dress up like Kirsten from 1854. Last year I made a Little House on the Prairie costume for daughter #1 so this will be my second go at making this pattern.
I am happy to work with nice - easy to sew cotton fabric and am relieved she didn't want a fairy or a mermaid costume :0)Marcie at http://patchalotmore.blogspot.com has her new free Christmas pattern ready to go. I really like it - I'm hoping to get started on it this weekend. As always, so many sewing projects - so little time...

I love how your bag turned out. Bev is going to be soo jealous about your corners. You'll have to prepare a little demo for her Saturday.
I hope the truck repairs continue to progress.
I have to tell you I was inspired by Libby's stockings too

Those little dresses were popular when my girls were very small. Back then they were Holly Hobby dresses! I loved them. They had bonnets too.
Love your christmas stockings, they are so pretty. There is still a little time to make more for this christmas, I guess. It was nice to visite your blog, and thank you for stopping by mine. And I love your quilt Lucy's flying geese! Maybe I can make one, one day?
