I did it! I finished one of the July Blackbird Designs stockings. It wasn't pretty, I had to figure out the process, and I came to KNOW that the way Alma and Barb give the instructions in the back is the way to finish them! Easy peasy once you get the hang of it :o)

Lovely finish !
ReplyDeleteLooking Good!!! Did you finish the way that Barb and Alma said in the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI have that same one almost done, but ran out of the blue silk I was using. Should be in at the LNS tomorrow.
Those stockings are the funnest to stitch. Can hardly wait to see the Halloween ones.
Keep on stitching.
Your stocking is very pretty - congratulations on your finish! I can't wait to stitch these, but I thought I should finish some samplers that have been waiting forever first. Have fun with the rest!

ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute finish, Vonna! YGG! I saw a bunch of the stockings stitched by one of the ladies at my LNS and they are oh, so cute! Then when we went to a not so LNS, they had them finished & hanging on a little tree. Super cute! So many fun things to stitch, so little time!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful stocking. You're certainly going to be busy if you're making 20 more in addition to all else you do. Amazing!

ReplyDeleteHey girly, your stocking is very cute. I’ve bought a few of these patterns, because I love stockings, and mini-stockings are even better. I’ll have to make one of them soon… if I can get off of Shores for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely must do these myself!
ReplyDeleteDear Vonna, I'm just a spectator on this finishing thing, as you know, but I admire your ability so much. I'm just waiting to see everyone's stockings this year! Yours is just darling. Hugs, Deb

ReplyDeleteDoes that mean your way didn't work??? Well. I'm not nearly as good as you at sewing, but I still would rather have somethink like the stockings I have a picture of in my post from Tuesday. ??? Well, I haven't stitched any of them yet, so I need not worry, yet!
