3. Melanie's Winifred Doll - 8 votes

4. Roselle's Altered Candle - 3 votes

Winner is Pat Winter, You did a fabulous job on your stocking.

Here is Pat's Description of her Crazy Quilt Stocking: "...Moments ago I just finished my crazy quilt Christmas stocking using the image of the little girl standing on the chair...I believe she is anticipating Santa's arrival. I added very light coloring on her hair and clothing using scrap booking chalks.  I wanted to keep her as vintage looking as possible. I embellished using vintage laces, velvet millinery flowers and leaves,silk ribbon embroidery,vintage buttons and a few other fabric images I altered and printed onto fabric. The wreath image is to "Virginia" from "Santa" and a vintage letter which I added the words, "Dear Santa". This is my first stocking and I didn't have a pattern but I like how it turned out and will be making more..."

Wonderful

Second place is Melanie Hickman's "Winifred's Christmas"

Here is Melanie's Description of her doll: "...here are pictures of my colorized photo face doll I made and decided to enter in the Challenge.  This is the girl with the big bonnet and muff.  This is doll is titled: "Winifred's Christmas"  - I added a Christmas stocking holding a mini Frances Brundage "Dolly Dear" replica doll and a paper doll book..."
