It’s never too early to start planning for Christmas – well, except when the stores begin putting out their wares before Halloween!  I designed these miniature scrappy Christmas stockings out of Jelly Roll strips:

Holly Jolly Gift Christmas Stockings
Free Pattern from BOMquilts.com!

The pattern can easily be adapted to make larger Christmas stockings and they are SEW EASY to put together!  I may even revisit my Christmas Jelly Roll stash and make these small ones for our family’s 2014 Christmas – and stash a little bit of candy, a gift card or a lump of coal in each one!  🙂
