Thank you so much. :-D

The pattern is called "Paisley Socks" and is from http://www.woodenspooldesigns.com. I was just on their website and the pattern is still available. The pattern contains patterns for 3 stockings. I made up the fourth one on my own.

Thank you! I don't have much information about where's a good place to look. The stockings were my first wool project. I got the pattern from http://www.woodenspooldesigns.com. They are a home-based company that I came across at a local quilt show. I wish they had a storefront, but it's by order only. They offer a lot of small projects, which as a beginner, I find very appealing (and more affordable). I don't really have time to start any new projects, but I'm going to order their "Flower Basket" pattern. It's just so pretty. :-D

I think I am going to use flannel - but the pattern has you stitch the blocks down onto a muslin backing - and I am working on the blocks still so haven't quite gotten that far yet. I have more than half the blocks done and am going to embellish them more before I am done. Which one are you going to start with? I will try to post some of my finished blocks today or tomorrow. It is the most fun I have had for a long time. Lot's of people have really changed them and added to them so they are absolutely beautiful.

Thanks !!! I found them on the website you provided and have ordered them. Now if I can just get them done by Christmas with all the other projects I have started!

Where is a good place to buy wool that's ready to sew with? I just bought three patterns from Wooden Spool Designs ("Flower Basket" for me and 2 patterns to use as school teacher gifts), but need wool to use now. :-D

There is a very large selection at Pioneer Quilts in Clackamas, OR. I think they have the best selection in town. Holly Hill Quilts in West Linn also has wool - but now as much selection. However, Holly Hill has a great thread selection - but Pioneer Quilts does too. It's really worth a trip to Pioneer Quilts. They are awesome and they have every color you can imagine in wools. I love their store. Also have wonderful cottons and patterns.

I read through the pattern yesterday. I thought the pattern was very well written. I liked the way she explained the process that most of us take for granted. (why she started with 5" and cut to 4"). I was surprise the entire project is so small, but that makes it alot more manageable. I'll probably do the cat first. I have enough (7 tubs) wool so I'm thinking I'll use wool for the background too. Now for time to get it started. :lol:

Thanks, Roxanne. I'll have to venture over there after my patterns arrive.

:D

I think I misunderstood your question - I am using wool to stitch the appliques onto. then for the backing for the entire quilt I am still thinking.

I should mention that the stockings made according to the pattern are quite small. I enlarged my pattern to the size I wanted. You may want to consider size before jumping right in on the project.
