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!!!!!

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.
