Sampler Stocking Progress

I have been working on my "Sampler Stocking" for the past couple of days. I'm determined to get it finished up soon.

Sampler Stocking as of 9/4/09

I completed these two sections

I was at Barnes and Noble the other day and found this book...

I really want to make this quilt....

The fabric used is Blackbird Designs "Harvest Home." It's so pretty! I really need to finish up my little table topper first though! ;)

Well, I'll be looking forward to sleeping in for the next few days. It's been a rough week. Matthew caught a cold and hasn't been sleeping well. He's finally getting over it, so it should be a good weekend. Write soon!

  8. After stitching my first CHS stocking (Truth & Virtue), I've decided it definitely won't be my last. Your sampler stocking is fabulous. Those reds just POP! Guess I'd better add that one to my list.

  10. Your stocking is SO pretty, Nicole. You can't have much more to do other than making it into the stocking itself, right? It looks so nice. The quilt book--gasp. I love the cover quilt, too!

    I hope Matthew is feeling better soon! Enjoy your 'lie in', as they'd say here!
