More hexies and Christmas stockings

Despite all the sewing time I've had lately, I don't have much to show.  I'm mostly working on Christmas gifts, so I'll have to wait to share those projects.

Christmas sewing

I have made some good progress on my hexy mini quilt.  After showing a couple options for the background fabric back in this post, I ended up choosing something completely different.

Hexy mini quilting

Originally I thought I wanted a black and white background, but I think this green fabric makes the colors pop even more.  I'm done hand quilting it with pearl cotton, and now I just need to trim and bind it.

I have made some good progress on new Christmas stockings for my family.  

Winterkist stockings

I'm planning to add a cuff and will probably embroider the name on each one too.  Hopefully I'll be able to get all 4 done before Christmas.

      The large gnomes and snowflake fabrics are Winterkist by Monica Solorio-Snow for Lecien. I just love the bright colors in this line. The small gnomes are Michael Miller Many Mini Gnomes.
