Merry Little Christmas

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Ours was simple and quiet. The budget was small this year, but I have to tell you, this Christmas was the best one yet I think. We enjoyed each others company, had wonderful food, and enjoyed all of our gifts.

I made new stockings for the kids this year and they loved them. I used this tutorial from the Imagine Gnats blog. Her tutorial is for a quilt as you go stocking, but I opted to just use a fat quarter for mine rather than scraps (I made these at the last minute and didn't have much time to find the perfect scraps in my overflowing bins). They are quilted with meandering patterns and each child's name.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
