Slow Stitching Sunday


 I am pleased that I got this stocking done in time for Christmas.  I think it turned out all right.  It is rather busy with all those Christmas patterns but the lace pulls things together.  Some of the fabrics hold special memories.  Fabrics that were once clothing worn by family members.  Also, there is a scrap of fabric from when my Mom made a very sweet Christmas dress for one of her granddaughters.  

I must check in with that niece.  She loves to stitch.  It would be lovely to have her come for a day of stitching.  I could share some of the sentimental fabrics with her!  I must do that!

    Such a sweet stocking, Angela. Even more special with the different fabrics used from different clothing worn by loved ones through the years. The different laces is a lovely touch. I think a sewing day spent with your niece is a wonderful idea.

    It's an adorable Christmas stocking. You are right, the lace pulls everything together. White lace also has a wintery feel about it - it reminds me of ice crystals on a window pane.
    Enjoy the end of the year.

    What a lovely Crazy Quilt style stocking! The family fabric memories make it even more special. I hope you and your niece get to share some stitchy fun in the New Year!

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
