We met Jenny Hope at the Ridge Quilters' Guild Quilt Show in Paradise, CA. She stopped by the booth and told us about the stockings she made, her way. We asked her to bring them so show us. So Sunday morning she brought Show and Tell.
Jenny made these as wedding gifts for her sister's grandson and his wife. She used the
Heartfelt Angel pattern for the new bride. She stitched out the designs and then colored them in with crayon.

The only guideline was that he wanted fur inside. He likes cars so if you look closely you'll see Matchbox Cars down the side of his stocking. A soft furry animal print is the lining and trim on his. What could be softer than a stocking lined with Minkee for his wife's? Jenny added pink pompoms and some crystals to hers too.
Rather than just a solid back on them, Jenny used pieced star blocks. What a great idea!

I love that Jenny took these designs, changed them up and made them unique. I'm sure that the lucky recipients will love them for many Christmases to come.
Happy Stitching,
