Our youngest grandson is the only member of the family that was stocking-less for Christmas. A doting grandma simply can't have that, so this was created...
The red bear fabric is SO soft and cuddly. The bear applique is the back side of a scrap of suede I had in my stash.
Today's quote..."Don't compare your life to others. Comparison is the thief of joy"
I just wanted to tell you I think your picture quilts are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate the praise!!
DeleteWell it looks like Evan will be ready for Santa's visit! Such a sweet stocking....And you are so right about Grandma's!
ReplyDeleteHe'll be too little yet this year to really appreciate a stocking but he'll grow into it.
DeleteThat's a great quotation today, good reminder. Thank you. I can't believe you're so firmly into Christmas and filling your boxes of gifts already.
ReplyDeleteI'm sadly behind in filling the Christmas box this year - normally I start working on things mid-January and add to it all year long.
DeleteWhat a simply darling Stocking--nice work so cute
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
Thanks Julierose. I'm just glad I don't have the job of filling it every year!
DeleteSuch a sweet stocking! I'm sure it will be used for years to come. Interesting links. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI imagine it will be used for a long time, at least such is the plan!
DeleteLove Evan's stocking. I can see it becoming a Hug Rug after the gifts are removed. The fabric sounds so cuddly. GKs are so great to have.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we received from a young GD, hand made gifts in an envelope addressed to Mr and Mrs Post Office.
We receive mail C/-the local PO. ..luckily her dad added the proper finish. Love the quote also.
Awww - now that's a wonderful story! You'll have to keep that envelope.
DeleteBeautiful stocking! I am sure your Grandson will appreciate it greatly! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteNot sure he'll appreciate the stocking as much as what might be inside it....at least as he gets older.
DeleteThank goodness for Grandmas! Your fabric reminds me of Canada.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we live in Canada then...lol. It's such fun being a grandma and being able to make things for our grandsons - at least until they outgrow any interest in what Imake.
DeleteAwwww, it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's so soft and cuddly too! Thanks Vicki.
DeleteWhat a cute stocking! Great use of your materials, Mary Anne. That bear applique is too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Becki...hopefully he'll love it for years to come.
DeleteEvan's stocking is very sweet. Love the applique bear resting on that fabulous bear fabric. Now to fill the stocking up, grandma. =)
ReplyDeleteNope - I'm not the stocking filler-upper - that torch has been passed. I just make the stockings.
DeleteYou are without a doubt the very best Grandma E.V.E.R.! Such a cute Bear Christmas stocking. Your gift box must be very full by now.
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know about being the best Grandma but I do have my moments.
