KC's Christmas stocking and Hannah's Christmas present to herself!!!

The camo backing is a twill type and VERY easy to work with and gave a really clean look to the cording and construction.

the lining ia a homespun and the picture does'nt do it justice...it has a wamer golder look and goes very nicely with the backing, more masculine then gingham

the "ornaments" came out sooooo cute a nice touch on the top

so cute!!

the hanging tab turned out the best of all the stockings ( more then a dozen to date!) Ii've ever constructed

the orange camo was a perfect fit for the overall look of the stocking...i have plenty left over and might make him a coiled fabric bowl to keep his keys and sunglasses, etc in  on his dresser or for the front ledge!

Here is the quilt I bought for myself for Christmas!! The price dropped to the point where I'd never be able to buy the fabric and make one like it for myelf..... the circle fabrics are a cross betweeen old fashion and contemporary....fun will take more when i clean the rest of my room!!!!!

YOU'VE BEEN ICED !!!!!!!

Here are the LIcense plate

Another possible Table Topper

 
I've taught this class a few times. It's relatively simple to make, but it is quilted. In theory we could probably eliminate the batting.

Fabric Requirements:
For best results all three fabrics should have good contrast in color and/or scale.

For top: 3 fat quarters or 3 ¼-yard cuts
For backing: ¾-yard
For batting: 26” square

The finished size is about 25-26" across. I would rate this one more difficult than the first one I posted. Maybe not more difficult to sew, but more time-consuming.

Possible Table Topper

 

I was looking for something else in some of my quilt magazines and came across this project. Done in greens/pinks it could be very effective. The size is 15" across from flat side to flat side and 17" from point across to point. It's actually not quilted because it has no batting, just a fabric backing which is folded to the top to make the "binding". In the same issue of the magazine there is an ad for the kit to make it which says, "This project's so easy you can make several in an evening." If this sounds somewhat interesting, I could make a mockup in either some pinks and greens or Christmas colors. Let me know what you think. Also, bear in mind that the "star" could easily be eliminated at it is really just added folded fabric that make the "negative spaces", thereby leaving a hexagon in the center.

Tiger Chair Backpack

Here is the TIGER chairpack...came out the best I think becasue of the fusiable backing ...makes it nice and stiff..holds shape nicely....
