Carpenter’s Wheel Christmas Stocking

I made this stocking for my husband Chris. He does woodworking and so I thought a carpenter’s wheel block was appropriate.

Bethlehem Rose Christmas Stocking

I made this Christmas stocking for myself.  I have never one before.  When growing up, my mom used to hang one of her old nylon hose (the single leg style) and fill it with unshelled mixed nuts, oranges, and apples.  Perhaps this was a throwback to her own childhood when they were lucky to receive even a single orange for Christmas.
I had made stockings for everyone in my family and decided it was my turn to make one for me.

This is my first Christmas stocking I made.  It is for Michaele, my older daughter and was made when she was a toddler.

I made this quilted stocking for my son in law, Matt.
He loves to golf, so I made a snowman golfing.

Jase's Christmas stocking

I made this Christmas stocking for my 1 year old grandson, Jase.
His daddy has a snowman on his stocking, so I decided to use a similar snowman as engineer of the Christmas Express train.  The wheels have buttons as their centers.

The wreath is embellished with tiny buttons and beads.

Hudson's Stocking

I made this Christmas stocking for my 3 year old grandson, Hudson.
He loves planes and so I decided to make a bi-plane with a golden bear as pilot.  The bear can be removed from the cockpit.
