More Victorian Boot Stockings

I was able to finish off both of the other Victorian Boot Stockings tonite so had to show them off too :)

First is the second of the stockings for the swap.

This one is one in whites and silver.

This is the one that will be a gift for my sister, shhhh....

The Black velvet used in these two stockings are from leftover fabric that made 

my sister's cape for her recent wedding.  In this stocking

is the blue lining used to line her cape.

After a trip to our local "danger zone" (aka fabric store) the colour schemes 

for the other 2 stocking came out. 

 Mostly due to the buttons :)

1st Victorian Boot Stocking

I have just completed my first Victorian Boot Stocking and I'm so thrilled with it I simply had to share! 

I have two more I just need to put together so I'll be finishing them off next! :)

More updating

Ok as promised a few pictures of the blocks I haven't posted about yet. These first two are from the Victorian Tea Cats Quilt. they are blocks #3 and #4 seeing as I've lost my pics I don't have a naked block pic of #2 as it's already been worked on... near done actually.

These next two are from the Fairy Quilt Wall Hanging. This first one was nearly all embellished by Wendy F. who graciously offered to so some work for me on one of these blocks. She did a fabulous job and only left a few little areas for me to add a few bits and of course a fairy charm.

This one I've done all on my own. :)

I'm starting a new RR soon called "Fairies Fairies Fairies" and I've decided to use 3 of these blocks rather then 6 6" blocks so that I can finish this Wallhanging while working on other things as well and to get LOTS of different finishes to this piece!

Victorian Tea Cats - block #1 - naked

Here's the first block for the Victorian Tea Cats Quilt. I used block #10 from Vintage Voque as inspiration to do the crazy quilting as I liked the purple patch to do the spider web I'll be doing on this block. Keep watching for updates on this block and all the others to come in this quilt. I plan to do one CQed block and one plain with doily and cross stitching on it each month for the 12 months of 2011 that Crazy Quilting International group is doing the 12 months of Victorian Symbology. So each month's block I'll be featuring that' month's symbol. :)

That's the work I this morning. Next post will show what I did for the afternoon and evening. :)
