Turn your favorite fabric scraps into a quilted heirloom holiday stocking with author, designer, and modern quilter Blair Stocker of Wise Craft Handmade. The super-tiny half square triangle units (HSTs) that make up the intricate front piece of your stocking will truly sparkle like multi-faceted gems. To achieve this “quilt sparkle,” Blair teaches you about color value, how to determine it in your fabrics using a tool she invented called the Ruby Ruler, and how to use it in your quilt designs. You’ll move on to straight-line quilting your stocking panels and sewing together the complete stocking with a cuff and a hanging loop. This is such a special project for using bits of your treasured fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind piece that you and your loved ones can cherish holiday after holiday.
