First String Stockings

If you are a regular reader, you are probably thinking I am a one trick pony lately.  Football, football, football...

 

You are right.

 

So one last football / Christmas project (you are saying, "it's January, Carla...").  I'm only a month behind.  I'm thinking, "not bad."  I am more prepared for next Christmas than I was for this last one.   lol

 

This is my project for:

 

Project QUILTING: Season 5, Challenge 1–String Along with Me

 

NFL stockings - First String



These stockings are for two of my favorite NFL football fans - my kids.

 

 

 

They love it when the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs play each other and they try to attend the game together.

 

I had a ton of scraps from making this quilt and this quilt.  When Kim over at Persimon Dreams announced the new season for Project Quilting and it was string quilts, I new it was my chance to make these stockings that have been in the back of my mind for a while.

 

 

I string pieced these on batting and then lined them and string pieced a cuff for the top.  I also made sure to make a big loop for hanging.

 

I've started the year with a little scrap busting with this challenge, too.  YEAH ME!

 

 

A complete finish with labels.
