FO: Stockings for Jill and Ryan

Whew! What a nice long weekend! For those of you in the states, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving with your families. I got a lot of time with my family and Elliott's. And yes, I'm engaged! I don't have any details to share on the when or how, but we know it will be sometime next year! For now, I'm just enjoying the feeling. I'll share more with you soon!

In the meantime, I crossed a couple of things off of my gifty list this weekend.

My sister asked me for Christmas stockings, personalized for her and her boyfriend, Ryan. Using Fabricworm's tutorial and some Alexander Henry Holiday Hoot fabric, I came up with some pretty fun stockings!

FO: Owl-y Stockings

I worked on the embroidery over the holiday, and finished them up yesterday afternoon.

Embroidery for stockings

It's always fun to stitch up words in embroidery. And of course, Bella always likes to help.

The pattern was very easy to follow, and the second one came together better than the first.

I'm linking up today with Megan this morning!

    They are so lovely. The fabric is great fun, festive but not totally overblown.

    Congrats on the engagement! I had similar feelings when we got engaged (back in 2004). The stockings are super cute. Sometimes it seems I should consider taking up sewing, as it's so much quicker than knitting! ;-) I'm also intrigued by quilting, but that doesn't seem as speedy. (sjn821 on Rav)

    Those stockings are great! I'll have to try that for next year.

    I'm glad you're taking your time on the wedding (planning) front. Enjoy the moment!
