I signed up for a Christmas Stocking swap with Quilting Bloggers...my second ever swap. My swap partner was Lyndsey from London. We were given a pattern (see below) and allowed to embellish it as we wished. I wanted to use applique, but found it quite a difficult shape to design for. I drew out my designs, a Christmas bauble on one and a pomegranate and flower on the other. I used metallic threads to add a bit of extra bling. Christmas decorative ribbon and string plus jingle bells finished the stockings. I also sent her a charm pack. In return, I received two lovely stockings and a sweet little tote from Lyndsey. A great swap! Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
