So a long time ago I had this wonderful idea that I would make our family Christmas stockings. I had a very particular vision in my mind, I wanted them to be like a quilt. 3 years later .... I bought the fabric, and a month later I started putting it together. I almost gave up... more then once. Please don't look too closely, i am not a master quilter .
First I made this quilt (57x57 inches) Now I have extras that would match if our family grows.
It took me over a week to work up the courage to cut this up, it has inspired me to make another quilt maybe a Christmas quilt or Kamryn's baby quilt.
The final product.....
Now to buy some hooks so I can hang them.
Side note I saw this on my friends blog Message from Santa I made one for each of my kids. Since they never got to sit on Santa's lap this year they will know for sure he got their letters. So cute and only took like 5 min to personalize a video for them. Here are the links to those if you are curious Kamryn Logan

These are gorgeous! Our fireplace ruined our stocking last year, and seeing as it's almost Christmas, I've got to find/make some more. I love your idea! I may just have to make it too. ;) Happy Holidays!
