Merry

Yup, this stocking for hubby was begun with every intention for Christmas 2012, but considering I just completed it, I'll consider it my first finish for Christmas 2013. The zig-zag design was straight from Camille Roskelley's Merry. I did tweak the overall shape, so it's more like imagine gnat's falling flakes.
I love the unconventional blue and gray color scheme, based on the O' Tinsel Tree Snowflake Dots, which also happens to back the stocking. Quilting was a basic diagonal at unevenly spaced intervals.

What a relief to have this done, especially since this project is on my 2013 Finish-A-Long, Q1 list!

  2. I'm sure your honey will love it for Christmas 2013!! And you get to cross this off your list. Win-win. I like the color scheme and chevron pattern.
