I have already finished the base of my stocking. I am doing a CQ stocking. I am currently working on a beaded embellishment. I decided to start with the most labor intensive embellishment first. It is in Xmas colors.
I will take a picture tomorrow and post it on this thread.

Hi ladies!

By now everyone has their SSSS name and might even be working on their stocking and gifts. Please be sure to read the Guidelines if you have any questions.

Mail by Date will be: DECEMBER 17th with confirmation. By mailing the packages out by the 15th it will give everyones package a week to get to its destination. I would like for EVERYONE to be in receipt of their stocking by Saturday the 22nd so we can all have our Annual Party to open our gifts together on Sunday night December 23rd.

JLu, I know I just mentioned to you it was by the 17th but I dont' think too many will be around to open on Christmas eve the 24th so I pushed it back a day.

With soooo many projects for this Christmas, I decided to get my Stocking finished. Now I can go shopping! Here is a pic of my finished Stocking, who will it go to???

Fleur55

Fleur, that is sew cute! Will it go to me??? I love the pattern you used.

What a great stocking!

I bought the fabric for mine and some goodies for inside, but I haven't made the stocking yet.

Got your message Nicki. Now to figure out how to post my pictures

... Fleur55 that is so pretty - that fabric in the shoe, is that some sheer thing over a color? Are those buttons or something on the front? The picture doesn't really show, but it is really a lovely 'sock'. Someone is going to be thrilled. I haven't watched this thread before - are they all this pretty?

Fluer - love your stocking!

Had I known it was going to be so dang cute I would have begged Elaine to make sure you got my name LOL! Thank you for sharing.

Ok wish me luck I think I was able to resize my pictures.

For my angel

Yaaaaa!!!! I did it now here is the back

... your picture is teeny weeny but it's a lovely stocking ... good job

Working on my stocking and finished one of my gifts.

JLu - Adorable stocking! hmmmmm I wonder who it's for?

How's everyone doing? I pulled all my Christmas fabrics out yesterday and will be working on mine today. Haven't had the sewing machine out in a long time and have to admit... it feels good do be doing something other than hand stitching.

HI LADIES
NICKI I DON'T FINE THE WISH LIST FOR SSSS
CAN YOU HELP ME.
LOVE ELY

I have posted the link to the SSSS 2012 Wish List above the guidelines in the fist post to this thread for your convenience.

Ok I mailed mine today I'm hoping my sister can have enough will power to wait before she opens the box. Conformation # 03111660000252907009. Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to all.

Oh my, J Lu, you are an early bird. Wonder who will receive that package and get to stare at it until our opening date . . .

I haven't made the stocking yet, but have several things in the goodie box to wrap once the stocking is made .

My stocking is sewn, just need to add some embellishments and fill with goodies.

I had to mail it I was to tempted to keep it. I have to many things going on in this house. I'm hitting a UFO night on Saturday at one of the quilt shops here. 4-12 and pizza. I should be able to get a few things out. I hope!

Good for you, J Lu! Im right behind you. There is one other little thing I want to finish before I mail.

I think I received my stocking!!!! It is a box from a name and place I don't know with SSSS written on it, so I won't open it. Thank you.

Yikes I better get further along with the one I am currently sewing for my recipient.

Good luck waiting, Ali. I need to make some progress on the stocking that I am making. Still can't decide what fabrics to use.

I have gifties for my stocking, and fabrics. Can't decide how to make it!

just a bump... we will be headed due ast this evening... am ready for my own bed!!

Can't wait to make my stocking!

Turkey day is over - hope you all had a wonderful day Now.... the clock really starts ticking down toward December 17th - please check in and let us know you're still on track for that mail date.

I got it DONE! Yes! I feel so good now got to shop and stuff some goodies in it! Hope she likes it! Whew! Im happy I will be on time!

I did not have to make a prototype. LOL. The first time was a charm. No need to make a second one. Hope my secret sister loves it. I sewed on snowflake buttons (difficult to see) and blue ornaments with silver bells inside. Who else has their stocking done??? Lets share pics. Sue

That's cute.

I finally got a paycheck so I am going to be able to buy the rest of the items to fill the stocking for my SSSS.

My prototypes are for my daughter's and family's stockings. I sure need the practice. Hoping my SSSS likes the one I made for her. It was the first one I made and I didn't mess anything up

Do we need to send tracking numbers or anything?

Like the embellishments, bet Mya would like them too. LOL
I got my stocking done today too. I hope my SSSS likes it, if not my DH thinks he needs a new one.

I'm trying to figure out how I want to do the cuff. Decisions, decisions!

Cute stocking Sue! is it for me?

I'm working on mine yet. On track!

Thanks for the compliments. Only I know who will receive my blue snowman stocking and I will not tell. LOL Sue

I apologize for being MIA the last 3 weeks. I wasn't feeling well. However I have been making progress on the stocking and I will be ready in time for mailing. Here is a picture from a couple days ago. The beaded wreath isn't finished yet but sometimes I feel like working on a different part.

Here is a close-up on the wreath.
The wreath picture I took on Nov. 21. The stocking picture is from Nov 27.
I will be spending more time on it tomorrow.

Today we are off to my Father-in-law's as his wife passed away yesterday morning. She was 94 and had another severe stroke a week ago.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with your family

Purple Butterfly, Sorry for your loss. Your stocking will be very beautiful when you finish. Love the tree too.

A bunch of other great stockings that will be going out to some lucky people... Chris

Karen, so very sorry to hear of your loss.

The sneek peaks of the stockings are so much fun to see! Looking forward to seeing many more the closer we get to mailing date. Remember ladies, you MUST put confirmaiton on your package and then email me with that number. When you have received your stocking, please let me know. Once I have at least 12 stockings that have been delivered I will start updating the list with faces to indicate stocking received.

Tomorrow I am dedicating the afternoon to working on my stocking. Already have most of my little prezzie ready to wrap. How's everyone else coming along?

My stocking is finished and all ready to be mailed Monday morning, my apologies to my SSSS if you have to sit on it for a while, I just want to make sure it gets there in time

I already posted this but I received my SSSS box. I am patiently waiting to open it Thank you whoever you are!

I shopped today and my stocking is overflowing with items I hope "she" will like. Not sure when I will mail it. That is a secret.

I'm coming along with the parts; now to put it all together. Lovely pictures so far.

I've got my stocking all done, but I'm working on my little gifties. One is all done and it turned out great, I think my SSSS is going to like it, I hope.
Purple Butterfly, sorry for your loss. Ts and Ps to your family.

Yea, we are starting to get more chatter! I have a lot to do on the stocking that I'm making this week. Only two weeks before they all need to be in the mail .

Well, I have the pattern and the fabric for my stocking, and some of the things to go in it, but it is in line at the moment. Just finishing up my 12 Days gifts and wrapping them today. Have to finish my Row Robin next (needs to be in the mail by the 10th), and then I can concentrate on my stocking and getting it in the mail before the 15th. Why, oh why, do I end up doing so many swaps in December?! Ah, well, I really love doing them. And I really like getting all those little presents!

LindaJ52

Linda - the Mail Dat eis Monday December 17th so at least you will have that weekend if that helps LOL!

Well so far I have made one , but wasnt satisfied with it. Then I deconstructed one because I loved the fabric but not the stocking - LOL Then just to be really kukoo I of course had to cut out another !
So my ssss who knows what will come out of this !
Three cut out - laying on the table looking at me ... One of em better speak to me soon ! LOL

Kmouse.... to quote a dear friend of mine ...are you "Wackadoodle today?"

Stocking in progress should finish this week. It is gold Dupioni silk not yellow/green.

Ooooooo very cute! Is that for meeeeeeee? They are so cute. I can relate to Kmouse I can never be stratified until I hear them talking to me. ha!

Here is my stocking... Gonna stuff it up real nice! The gift boxes on the front are from a swap that I hosted several years ago. I thought they completed the front of this quite nicely. The top of each gift box is open so I can stuff little things in them.
