New Bucilla Stocking

It's been a while since I've worked on a

Bucilla Felt Kit.

I've made a number of these over the years

and have a few in my cabinet, waiting to be made.

A few weeks ago I wanted some hand work to do at night

and pulled one of the kits out.

For me, these are so fun and relaxing to make.

This one is called "Santa Paws."

While I am not a dog person,

my daughter and son-in-law have a wonderful

rescue English Lab.

This stocking will be for Tucker.  :)

The details in these kits are so wonderful

and the directions are clear and precise...

as long as you go in the order given.

 

I usually do most of the embroidery first,

then cut the pieces in the order given

and stitch them together.

 

This was last weeks progress.

 

Last night I finished the dog bowl and bone at the bottom.

There are two more dogs to make and a few

other little things.

Once the front is finished,

I make a quilted stocking and will stitch this front to it.

The little felt backing that is included in the kit

is just not sturdy enough.

I purchase a lot of my kits from

Merry Stockings.

I'll link to Design Wall Monday today.

Happy Quilting! (and stitching!)
