i {heart} Pellon stocking tutorial

i have another quilted stocking tutorial to share with you, designed by yours truly for Pellon Projects!

the i {heart} Pellon stocking uses Quilters Grid to make quick work of an adorable postage stamp patchwork detail on the front, and includes instructions with or without area for embroidery.

you can download the full instructions (including printable pattern) for the i {heart} Pellon stocking for free from Pellon Projects!

my sample stocking is made with essex linen (Kaufman), Aneela Hoey's Cherry Christmas for Moda, and lined with fabric from DS Quilts.

want some more samples? you're in luck! here are two i made for sewn studio with Kate Spain's Joy (left) and Aneela Hoey's Cherry Christmas (right). we have even put together fabulous kits including all of the materials you need to make your own i {heart} _____ stocking :) not to mention that some cray person *cough* me *cough* cut out all of the 1.5" pieces you'll need for each stocking, yay for that! you can purchase your own i {heart} stocking kit from the sewn studio store.

unrelated to stockings, i'm not sure that i ever mentioned this Pellon Project... Frippery Coasters. you can get the free tutorial download here and whip up your own set of strip-pieced and hand-quilted coasters, perfect for last-minute gifts! samples made from Thomas Knauer's Frippery, backed with essex linen, and hand-quilted with perle cotton.

as always, if you make something from one of my tutorials, i'd love for you to share your pictures in the imagine gnats flickr group.

happy stitching!
