And we are counting down the days until Christmas, a mere ten days to go. So what better way to chase the cold away and get into the holiday spirit than with some bright color! Obviously, muted hues are not in my decorating lexicon, as our house is done in a vibrant color scheme. So, of course, that applies to seasonal decorations, too. These contemporary Christmas stockings are made with a mix of some of my most recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freespiritfabrics.com\/coatsb2b\/en\/Designer\/Jane-Sassaman\/Jane-Sassaman---Scandia---Vineyard\/p\/PWJS091\">FreeSpirit<\/a> fabric collections&#8230; Leaf Dance, Cool Breeze and the latest, Scandia, which will arrive in stores in a few weeks. These stockings should please the hippest Santas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Christmas-Stocking-100.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2744\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Christmas-Stocking-100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Christmas-Stocking-100.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Christmas-Stocking-100-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Christmas-Stocking-100-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The elves have been hard at work!!
