Are you ready for the holidays?

 

Do you do stockings for the kids (and grown-ups)?

 

Let's chat!

[Joyce Nease]

Love the stockings, Carole!  Like you, I sewed for my kids and my grandkids as my mother did for me.  But when I was little, for some reason we never hung stockings at Christmas.  I think my husband and I started it when our oldest was 3, and of course, the stockings were homemade but out of felt with cut out decorations.  That was 47 years ago and we still have them!  The ones you've made are like the memories of a quilt where each piece of fabric brings memories of a special dress or outfit.   So special!  Love them!  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for all your help showing all of us how to scrapbook and save our memories digitally!

It isn't a habit those stockings here in the Netherlands :)

 

 

 

But what you made I like it!

[Corrie Kinkel]

As my granddaughters live in the States of course I know about the tradition of stockings, but as Monique says here in the Netherlands it isn't. Although nowadays you can see them in the shops, but they are mostley just for decoration. However I like the ones you made!
