A Stocking To Stuff!

Ahh, it feels so good to have something quilty to share! I have been sewing little things here and there since our little guy's arrival but not much in the way of quilting.
My helper insisted on taking some pictures of me at the machine too. That gives me a chance to share my recent acquisition!! I finally found a Featherweight at a reasonable price and only an hour and a half away!! I love it!
On to the project...a stocking! The newest member of the family still needed a stocking!
I used this pattern from Suzyquilts. I was able to find enough red and green scraps, along with a nice cream on cream.
I did some simple quilting lines on both front and back.
This is part of the reason my quilting has slowed...little man is busy. He is so close to being mobile! (Ignore the mess, we are building while living in our house!)
These two are so fun!
And here is the finished product! I used some glitter glue to add his name at the top.

Nice, quick project! I will have a few more to share after Christmas gift giving has taken place. Can't keep from making some quilted gifts!😁

Merry Christmas, friends!

    So cute!! I need to get another stocking made, but my latest Grand won't be here until June 2025, so I might save it till next year. But I do need a pattern, so, off to check the one you used.

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...

He is super chill little dude and is so alert when he is awake! Big brother is also a major fan!!  So, I will get back to the sewing, quilting and knitting projects eventually but this one was too, too good not to share!😁 Alissa Linking up with Alycia at QuiltyGirl !
