These heirloom Christmas stockings were made for our daughter and her family. Most of the applique designs were found in a book entitled Quilt a Gift for Christmas by Barri Sue Gaudete. I used various applique patterns in the book to design my own stockings. The stockings are made of wool and are lined with flannel. The applique pieces are also wool. I enjoyed experimenting with various fonts for the names. All of the applique, including the lettering, is hand stitched with a blanket stitch using Valdani thread.
