Christmas Stockings

I decorated my staircase yesterday with garland, poinsiettas and clusters of red, lime green, and gold balls. It really got me in the mood for Christmas stockings. I made three today and I wanted to share them with you. My favorite, by far, is the white one. Simple, yet elegant, and I LOVE the trapunto style.

The Happy Pillow

My crafting therapy today yielded "The Happy Pillow"! I sew away with my fabrics but sometimes I really like what I make. I could make a toilet seat cover with ticking and love it - I just love ticking, especially red. I purchased some vintage quilt squares, or circles I should say, from an etsy seller and put one together with some ticking today and it just made me smile. I have listed this ooak pillow in my etsy shop along with another pillow I made from a vintage feedsack. Hope all you moms have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow and thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Quilt Tops

I scored the most awesome vintage quilt top off ebay. It is a random, no pattern really, crazy quilt type top. What makes it even more fabulous is that it is lined with vintage feedsacks and floursacks. Well, you guessed it, I promptly laundered it and fashioned the first of four pillow covers that this awesome quilt top will yield...barkcloth, silks, cottons, wools, just a true vintage fabric sampler. I am in love!!!
