I had a busy weekend between running around and the sewing that I was able to get done.

Finished these 3 snail blocks that finish at 9" tall by 15" wide.  Made with scraps and orphan blocks/block parts



I finished off the first 9 commissioned Christmas stocking on Saturday.  The first 4 of them and the pillows I already had completed were picked up and paid for by my customer on Saturday.

Final stocking made by piecing the leftover bits and sections of the shirt into a big enough piece to cut one more stocking out.  Sleeve placket in the white section was left in for interesting. 
 Shirt label, sleeve placket, half of the collar, and a front shirt pocket used to add interest to these four stockings.
 Cut from the back of the shirt, placket from the shirt front used to add interest to the stocking.
 Left stocking has one of the sleeve cuffs at the top complete with the buttons that were on it.  remaining two were cut so that the pocket and logo were on the stockings.
 A Harley Davidson sheet is being used to cut the lining sections from.  Grosgrain ribbon used for the hanging loop.

Next up are the next 4 t-shirt pillows and then either 4 tote bags or making stockings from the denim overalls that she brought.
