I have had several requests from many of my wonderful stocking buyers who are avid year round Christmas shoppers, for me to make and list my stockings year round so that they can get a head start! This "Turkey Tracks" variation quilt from the 1860-1880s has wonderful turkey red and fugitive green fabrics....the green has gracefully turned into a lovely soft tan color. The background muslin fabric used has also mellowed with age to a nice off white. This quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted with about 7 to 8 stitches per inch. This stocking measures approximately 19 inches long, 11 inches from heel to toe, and about 8 inches across the top opening. I've made the back of the stocking out of the same quilt so it can be hung with the toe pointing left or right. It is fully lined with no seams showing using vintage sheeting....the hanger is a grosgrain ribbon. To give the stocking more stability for all of those special treats, I've interfaced both the front and the back pieces. The lining has ample give from top to toe for those heavier little treats! Being a purist at heart, I love the traditional stocking shapes. The workmanship and original beauty of this quilt lets this stocking stand alone....no frills or embellishments are needed. Super great all year to hold magazines in your guest or that special room for you or your guests read more
