LAST MINUTE LITTLE MAKES

We are fast approaching the big day and even though we have pared down this year, I still feel the pressure.  Two of the three hats are done. The hardest part about these hats is finding a big button!



My son's girlfriend may get hers still on the needles-- sticking out of her stocking  : )

I managed to make my daughter a stocking.  She really liked the quilt I made using these fabrics so she asked for hers to be from the scraps


the stocking is a variation of this tutorial


One more stocking to go and then on to filling all eleven of them!
Have a fabulous week end.

    The hats are great. Sometimes I think I would like live where it's cold enough to wear stylish winter hats. I am sure the novelty would wear off after a week though! Merry Christmas!
