Between dashing and dancing I've eeeked out family stockings. Oh has this been a long time coming! And settling on machine embroidery meant that they all happened pretty snappy like!
This is also my newest free project with my pals at Janome! Free embroidery too! We have all of the links loaded onto my Janome + Me page for you. I talk a lot more about the process over here on the Janome projects page. Here is a link to watch our video tutorial too!
I love them so, so much! I'd love to see your versions (even if it's not til next year of course!)
xoxo, Anna
If my Janome is equipped to make something this beautiful, I will do joyful leaps! These are gorgeous, Anna Maria. It's more than the machine, I know. It's a lot to do with your artful gifts and skills. They look Merry and Bright!

ReplyDeleteFrom one breeder to another, it looks like there is still room for a purple one at the end (or a lavender AND a violet...) lol! ;) Happy Advent!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a full house! A house full of love and fabrics, of course! Lovely project! My mother made us stockings in the 1980's and they are still treasured. My Jewish husband even got one when he joined the family- so did the cat!
ReplyDeleteWow these are gorgeous. What Janome do you use for this?? xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi! I used the new memory craft 15,000 for this project but they have LOTS of models in various price ranges that can do the same! xo AM

ReplyDeleteAnna, those are GORGEOUS! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYour stockings are so beautiful. What kind of thread did you use for the embroidery? It looks so thick and rich. These are truly keepsakes!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I would keep these up all year....just sayin:)
ReplyDeleteSweet Baby Lying in a MANGER those are fabulously beautiful and now I want to have seven kids too! OK, then again, maybe I'll stick with the four I have now as it seems no one is going to stop me from hanging extra stockings, right?

ReplyDeleteMagenta of course! ;-P 3rd from left xoAM

ReplyDeleteWhen I look at this photo I want to run out and have 4 more babies. Then I remembered I don't have an embroidery machine. Thank goodness because 4 more kids would push me right over the edge!
ReplyDeleteI have an embroidery machine on my wish list, but by the time I get one I can make these for the grandkids ;)
Beautiful pattern!!
Anna-Maria, your pattern reminds me of old fashioned Greek coverlets, spelled in a modern way. Your little guy is so cute! Merry Christmas to your family and yourself.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. Did you use linen for the stocking fabric? It looks so cushy that I was wondering if flannel could work too?
ReplyDeleteLisa
These are soooo gorgeous! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI love them too! I've been looking for good mantel stocking holders for years- they're either cheap and light or too expensive- can't imagine buying NINE!!! ;)
