Stockings
My new (current) favorite die is the AccuQuilt GO! Santa Stocking Die and I have stockings coming out my ears and I have not finished making them. The November Island Batik Ambassador challenge was…you guessed it, stockings.
You can view the stocking post here.
GO! Snowflake Die (above) is just one of the snowflakes available from AccuQuilt.
Then I decided to make a couple stockings for my grandson’s.
The GO! Sleigh & Snowflakes Die includes 2 different snowflakes.
I’m so in love with my embroidery machine.
Then I made an Angel stocking.
Cookie recipe
These cookies are not your typical sugar cookies, no rolling pin required. Before you leave for the next blog click on the image below to download the pdf recipe. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
Under “Add to creamed mixture”, 1 is 4c sugar, 2 is 2 tsp salt and so on.
Really pretty stockings, The recipe sounds tasty, thank you for that.
Thank you
Love the stockings you made, especially that they have the names embroidered on them. The cookierecipe sounds delicious. I will give it a try.
Thank you, and yes, the cookies are really good.
Great stockings! I totally forgot I have this die, oh well there’s always next year 🙂
I really like it and have found a fusible fleece with no lining is the way to go.
The stockings are fun! The embroidery makes them extra special!
Thank you Leah
The stockings are all really cute, and the sugar cookie recipe makes my mouth water. Thanks for sharing!
Oh the cookies are so good.
Denise your stockings are beautiful. The embroidery is just the perfect embellishment. I’m sure the grands will be impressed. Thank you for sharing your sugar cookie recipe. Not rolling might actually mean I’ll make them ?
Lol, I don’t roll cookies so well.
Stockings and sugar cookies, does it get anymore Christmassy than that? NOPE! Love the personalized stockings. So good. Thank you for the recipe too!
Agreed, now if I just had a mantle to hang them.
The stockings are so nicely done! Sugar cookies are so good, plain or decorated!
Thank you, they were very relaxing to make.
Love your projects. A non-rolled sugar cookie!!??? That’s genius. Thank you so much for the recipe. I am also so impressed that you know how to offer it in a separate PDF…bonus points for that!
Lol, thank you. Google is my friend.
Hi Denise! This is exactly how we always made our sugar cookies. And then decorated them like ornaments or anything else that met our fancy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
Oh I never thought about that Roseanne, good idea. Hope you’re enjoying retirement.
I’m not retired yet – just wishing I was! HA!
Sorry, I thought I read that.
Your stockings are darling! A No roll sugar cookie sounds interesting. Thank you for the recipe.
they are much better than the rolled sugar cookies.
Your stockings are so cute! I love sugar cookies! 😉
Thank you
The stockings are great! I do love embroidering on my machine….like you. I don’t do enough but I have a few projects coming up. Love sugar cookies…and now I want some. I’ll be starved by the time I get through everyone’s blogs this week.
Lol, me too on the starved. There are so many projects I want to make using the embroidery machine, I hope to get them all done one day.
Sugar cookies and/or tea cakes are my faves!! Your Christmas stockings are so cute, Denise. I love them and may just have to break down and buy that die!! LOL
I love the die and plan on making more before Christmas.
I love a recipe that doesn’t have to be rolled out! Thanks for that. It looks pretty simple. Your stockings are all wonderful. How much fun to personalize them.
It was really easy to prep to add the embroidery stitching. I used a sticky stabilizer for the names and just a fusible fleece for the shapes.
If I had that stocking die I would have them coming out of my ears, too. I thought about getting that one, but never did. You made me rethink not getting it. Those stockings are beautiful! I love my embroidery machine but don’t use it as often as I’d like to. Thank you for the Christmas inspiration and for the sugar cookie recipe, too!
Thank you and thank you for organizing the hop. I really do love the die and was able to make the 2 stockings with names in about an hour and a half.
Hi Denise, how wonderful to be able to stitch your grandson’s names on their stockings! They look wonderful. All the best.
Thank you Andrée, they were really fun to make.
Adorable Christmas Stockings. I don’t have the stocking die, but I think I need that snowflake one. Thanks for sharing!
There are two or three dies with snowflakes and the embroidery file makes stitching them down a breeze.
Your stocking are hung and your cookies are all ready for Santa. It’s going to be a fabulous Christmas at your house!
Merry Christmas!
Lol, but the cookies do not last long and more will have to be made before Christmas.
I love Christmas Stockings. Yours are so sweet. I make a stocking for each grand for their first Christmas so you know I love them. Embroidery machines are the best, aren’t they? Sugar Cookies and Christmas go together so well and yours looks wonderful.
Now if I could come up with something I could make each year for them on my E machine Thank you for stopping by.
Annual ornament?
Hey that is a great idea, thank you.
Fun stockings! How nice that you have a machine that can embroider the names (I would have to hand embroider or do appliqué, since I don’t have an embroidery machine). Everything looks so festive!
Thank you Daryl, no hand sewing for me..
Your stockings are beautiful, you are doing wonderful with your embroidery machine!
Awe, thank you Vicki
Lol on stockings coming out your ears! Those are darling stockings – how timely is the Island Batik project! Your cookie recipe sounds delicous!
Oooh, the cookies are so good!
Love your stockings! My post tomorrow may be similar. Thanks for the recipe.
Can’t wait to see what your’s look like.
I really like the Christmas stockings, simple but so pretty! Happy stitching!
Thank you Gretchen.
