A Lightbulb Moment Stockings

It's Friday again and I'm back to share the final "A Lightbulb Moment" bonus project with ya'll today. No Christmas would be complete without stockings hung by the fire! So here are two versions of my "A Lightbulb Moment" Stockings using the leftover scraps from making the large lightbulb blocks in my other projects.

The instructions are for a solid body stocking cut from fabric but I couldn't resist not using up all the triangles left over from making the lightbulb blocks. I just can't throw those pieces away unless they are really teeny tiny. Anyone else save all those leftovers?

This stocking used the oblong triangles cut from the sides of the lightbulb. I used my BlocLoc half-rectangle triangle ruler set to square the rectangles after sewing the triangles together. 

This stocking used the triangles from the upper corners of the lightbulb. They made half square triangles and I squared them up with my BlocLoc half square triangle ruler. I just love my BlocLoc rulers!

I just sewed the squares and rectangles into a pieced section that measured 11.5" x 19", fused the fleece batting to the back side, layered it with a piece of plain fabric for my stocking body back (right sides together), then cut out the stocking.

Stocking Pattern

The lightbulb blocks in the cuff of the stocking are reduced to 25% the size of the original block. You'll need the "Best of Moda Bake Shop" book for instructions on how to make the block and then the download pattern gives you the formula for figuring the sizes of each piece of the block to reduce the size.

I've shared a total of 10 bonus patterns over the last couple of months. You can click here to see links to all of the patterns.

I've really enjoyed sharing all of these patterns and hope ya'll have enjoyed them too. I've been making plans on how I'm decorating for the holidays this year to incorporate all of these lightbulb projects. Yesterday I found jumbo lightbulb lawn stakes that light up and I'm going to use them as lights on my Christmas tree this year. I'm also drooling over Fiestaware's lightbulb dishes. I may have to splurge and buy me some of the lightbulb-shaped plates. Dang, why does Fiestaware have to be so pricey?

Tomorrow I'm presenting a trunk show with all of my "A Lightbulb Moment" projects. Can't wait, should be fun!

Happy Quilting!
