Patterns, patchworks and projects
Sarah of Sarah Quilts recently hosted her very first linky party, You show me yours, I’ll show you mine. Fitting juvenile humor, as it’s the time of year here in the U.S. where kids are going back to school. What’s showing is quilter’s stashes. It’s so much fun to see how others organize their pretties. Shown is a part of Lee’s stash (Freshly Pieced). Read more about it here or go straight to the party here.

This delightful tutorial, shared by Quilting in the Rain offers a heartwarming glimpse into the creation of vintage quilt stockings. The author, filled with excitement, stayed up late crafting these charming Christmas stockings and even filmed a tutorial to share with others.
Despite being in her pajamas and filming past midnight, the tutorial exudes warmth and creativity. While you won’t see much of the author in the video, her enthusiasm shines through as she guides viewers through the process.
The tutorial includes a helpful tip for those without vintage quilts, suggesting the use of “cutter quilts” available on platforms like eBay or Etsy. These affordable options provide the perfect material for crafting without breaking the bank.
The author also shares a personal story about the quilt used for the stockings, describing its condition and the sentimental value it holds. Despite its fragile state, the quilt found new life as beautiful stockings, showcasing the author’s creativity and resourcefulness.
This tutorial not only teaches how to make vintage quilt stockings but also inspires creativity and resourcefulness in crafting.
What awesome organization! I’m afraid that mine is not nearly as nice.
