Christmas is Coming, Baby

Last December, I made my new little granddaughter a Christmas stocking for her first Christmas.
Pattern is Merry by Thimble Blossoms;
fabric is 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain

When I won some fat quarters of Riley Blake's Celebrate Christmas a while back, it was pretty obvious that I needed to stitch up something for baby again. I've given you a couple of progress shots of my flannel Snow-Kissed Star (here and here), but now it's bound and finished!

Just for fun, I decided to personalize the back, using the paper-pieced alphabet recently posted by Kelly of kelbysews.
I quilted it with a long serpentine stitch, and not as heavy as some of my recent quilts. It washed up soft and cuddly, which should suit little one's taste just perfectly.

Linking up with {Sew} Modern Monday and Fabric Tuesday.

    Hey Debbie. Last year I made a hexagon stocking for my little g-baby too. I embroidered her name on the cuff. I may have to post a pic again as it's on my old blog that got hacked. : (
