I devoted a lot of time this past week to working on our Grand-daughter’s Christmas stocking. 
Another day or two should get it to the front of the stocking being finished. There are 2 more gingerbread people to make. After that, I’ll need to sew it to a backing piece of felt and then get a backing and lining for it so that it can become a functional stocking, ready to be filled. I’ve also done a few more of the Inner City blocks. 
I have no idea how many of these I will finally make, but I’m enjoying the process. I had originally thought that I’d just use solids for this, but I’ve changed my mind a bit. If it works with the theme of light , medium and dark within a colour range, I’ll use it. I’m finding the stitching these without the English Paper Piecing shapes is much easier on my hands. It is also much faster.
I’ll link up with Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching
We still have the felt stockings my mother-in-law made for my boys, well over 30 years ago. They are cherished heirlooms (and my mother-in-law is still alive to get thanked every year).
