I made this panel many years back and never found a good place to hang it. This year it is at the end of our hallway on the linen closet door, which has some sewing stash by the way. The stocking was made by my granddaughter when she was about 8 as she wanted grandma to show her how to sew, cut and put a pattern together. She has a eye for design and does lovely art work. A good memory for our family.

Another panel in my stash, just in time for the front door. I used puffy batting and stitched on many of the penguins' design lines to make some items pop out. I can hang it on the wall also but this year it will be on my front door.

I made this using a fluffy batting and some stash for the material on the back side. The items on Santa's beard are appliqued. I used "Wonder Under" but as it didn't seem to stick so well and because it will be hung outside I did do machine applique stich around each design. I also put a bit of extra cotton in Santa's hat brim to make it stand out like a stocking hat brim. This was a from a panel called "Santa Face Door Panel" by Daisy Kingdom copyright 1998 and it said it was printed with pride in the USA. I tried to find Daisy Kingdom company with a web search. I only found that panels are available on eBay, Amazon and Esty ,So the company must no long exist This was someone else's stash but it became part of mine when it was donated to the church. So yes I have had it for 10 years myself. It was sold at the church bazaar.

OK from the Apron & coaster panel by Kimberly Montgomery I used the 4 coasters to create this Wall Door hanging. Named it "Let It Snow" as when I pieced the black to the panel part I used my embroidery machine software of snowflakes . I used my lettering in this machine to write "Let it Snow" Both aprons and this wall/door hanging were sold at our church bazaar last week. Up date all my items sold at bazaar and the church made as much as $ 4000 or more to help the homeless people in our area. We are a group of 8 ladies. Feels Good!
