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…

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.
