The Christmas stockings I make are made from
fabric that I find at stores on shopping trips. I try to find
the red and green Christmas colors. I also make other colors but
that is something we would have to discuss. Each stocking has
traditional batting inserted like a quilt between the
lining and the front.
I usually use lace between the top and bottom for the girls but not necessarily
for the boys.
I have several designs. I try to post the designs on the website
as much as possible, for instance:
Lady cooking at old time black
stove wearing apron.
Girl or Boy pulling sled with Christmas tree on sled.
Train engine going up hill with Christmas tree for boys.
Young Deer with or without antlers, with red bow.
Santa and black dog.
Wooden Rocking Horse with presents in front of the Christmas tree.
Front of house with door and wreath and plant..
Remember, if
you tell me to put a green Christmas tree on a green stocking I will
have to make adjustments to make it show up. Sometimes these
design snags show up when you don't realize it. I must use
contrasting design elements to make the stockings look good because
they last a lifetime. Families still come to me to add family
stockings as their family grows.

Care of Quilts
Keep them out of direct sunlight or the colors will fade and fibers will weaken.
Even spotlights
can damage quilts. Low voltage, incandescent lighting is kindest to
fabrics. Keep quilts away from
damp areas. Keep them away from heat as
well. (See previous section called "Attics and Quilts"
for best humidity
and temperature.) Some authorities suggest we keep them put away in a
cabinet if
they are antiques. Then it is suggested they be opened up every now and then and
refolded in a different configuration. It is recommended that you handle the antique
quilts
with cotton gloves since hands will exude oil.
The books I have read suggest that you always put your quilt in the hands of professional
quilt
cleaners. However, I have also been told not to do this unless the cleaners
guarantee replacement.
I have cleaned mine by soaking them in an oxygen based
soaking solution in my washing machine.
I leave them in for quite a while. But
I never use the agitator. I spin the water out and refill
to rinse. Then
I use the spin cycle only and dry them with a low temperature in my dryer.
However, if you do this the colors may bleed and the quilt will shrink. Any time you
use this
method it will wear the quilt and cause it to deteriorate sooner. The
stitches will break somewhat.
I like clean quilts and am willing to take the
risk.

If
you have an idea just write me and let me know. Since
1969 Judy has been designing appliqué.
Her traditional appliquéd Christmas Stockings and other
one-of-a-kind treasures
are original designs using the zig zag stitch on the sewing
machine
. She also made a how-to video in 1987.
Judy uses the sewing machine like a paint brush,
creating and finishing all the intricate details.
Her designs have appeared in
Southern Living's Christmas magazines
and have been purchased by three generations.
They have been purchased and displayed by
"Bass Pro Shop" in
Springfield, Missouri.
