Patterns, patchworks and projects
A big thanks to The Quilt Woman blog for making me chuckle at the start of a new work week. She found quilt author Ami Simms’ Worst Quilt in the World contest. The winning entrant is shown here. I made a quilt top one time that could have placed in this contest, it was that bad. Go here to see all the entries to The Worst Quilt in the World Contest plus the Worst Quilt Wannabes. It’s so funny.

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.
These were so funny! My favorite – the bulgarian chicken with lips 🙂
