stocking treats block six
Block six brings “Sadie Goose.” She’s my favorite block and one that signals we’re halfway through the stocking quilt! Don’t you love her? There’s something about a pink Christmas goose, wearing a Christmas scarf that always gets to me. Block Six Now’s the time to use those cute little flower buttons you have in your embellishment kit! They’re for Sadie’s stocking! You can set them on the stocking when you’ve finished, and take lots of pictures, but don’t sew them on until quilting is complete. Waiting to sew on embellishments is hard for me when I’m working on a quilt. I can’t wait to see the block complete with the…

stocking treats block three
Block Three, Christmas Penguin! Block Three We have a simple block this week, so you should be able to finish quickly. The embroidery is easy and only requires a back stitch and satin stitch. The penguin’s eyes are small and can easily satin stitched without outlining first. The mouth is larger so outlining with a tiny back stitch will give it a little “padding” and hide the outside of your satin stitch. Don’t skip this outlining step if you want your stitches to look nice and even. Here’s how the quilt looks with block three added. Remember, there are still nine blocks to go. You just never know what…
