Christmas Stocking Tutorial

Hello friends! Is anyone else out there in a state of shock that Thanksgiving is next week? I hope I'm not alone. We had a lot of snow here this past weekend, so that's helping to get me in the holiday mood.  And since it's never too early to get a jump on Christmas preparations, today I'm sharing a really fast and easy stocking tutorial where you can use your favorite new fabrics or even just your scraps. These stocking come together so quickly - you could easily make a bunch at once.
You can find this tutorial today at the Art Gallery Fabrics blog as part of the series of tutorials from the Fat Quarter Gang. 

CLICK HERE TO GO TO STOCKING TUTORIAL

I used a bunch of gorgeous Art Gallery Fabrics from various collections including their Oval Elements, Pure Elements, Indie and Rhapsodia. 

 And you could win a similar bundle of 10 fat quarters from Art Gallery by leaving a comment on this post! As always to be eligible to win you must follow Art Galley Fabrics on your favorite social media platform (Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter) or Subscribe to their blog to stay up to date on all things AGF & the Fat Quarter Gang! Don't forget Flickr where you can also upload your own projects you've made with Art Gallery fabrics!
Leave a comment telling me your favorite way to follow AGF. This giveaway is open until November 16th when I'll randomly select a winner.  GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.

I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.

I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!
