Stocking treats block eleven
Block eleven was designed by our third place winner from the Bunny Hill/ Moda design contest, Lori Weigel! This cute little snowman, reaching for a Christmas ornament, won her third place.

Block Eleven Here’s block eleven in my Sugar Plum Christmas fabric… Here’s Lori’s original block that she submitted for the contest… I love how she’s used my ornament fabric to fussy cut her ornament.

stocking treats block ten
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a poinsettia or two. These beautiful flowers fill the season with color, beauty and always remind me of Christmas. I had to include one in our stocking quilt!

Stocking Treats block eight
Block number eight is from Julie Zaloudek, the second place winner in our Bunny Hill/Moda design contest! Block Eight Julie’s design is the reason you have that tiny ric rac in your embellishment kit! When I saw how she had used it in her design I knew we had to duplicate it. She’s stitched around the ric rac with red embroidery floss for the cutest accent. Here’s her block added to our quilt… And here it is duplicated in our fabric, Sugar Plum Christmas… Julie’s original design had a fabric square behind the stocking. I LOVED the look it added and it would be darling for an individual project. She accented the…
