This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share a commission.If you are thinking about hanging Christmas stockings but don’t have a fireplace mantel, you may want to make this easy Christmas Stockings table runner with this tutorial.

I know I have mentioned this many, many times but I really love being a ambassador for Island Batik. Their fabrics are beautiful and I never seem to get tired of working with them!
Christmas Stockings Table Runner
17 x 42
I couldn’t resist sharing a photo of Mr. Mickey sitting on the couch by the table runner next to my Wonky Christmas Tree pillow.
I didn’t do any quilting on the stockings as I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do. In the end, I just left the stockings plain.
Batiks were used to make this table runner but you could use any fabrics that you have in your stash that make you think of Christmas and stockings.

Make 5 stocking blocks:
- 1 – Red
- 2 – Yellow
- 2 – Green
Lay out the stocking pieces into 5 blocks.
Use the following diagrams to piece each stocking according to the colors above.
Place 2 – 2½” white background squares on each 4½” x 6½” rectangle as shown below.
Mark a diagonal line on each 2½” square. Stitch on this line. Trim, leaving a ¼” seam allowance. Fold the corner square back over the seam and press.
Repeat the steps for all of the blocks
Finishing the blocks:
- Add a white 2½” x 6½” piece to the top of both green stockings.
- Add a white 2½” x 6½” piece to the bottom of both yellow and the red stockings.
Each stocking block will measure 6½” x 14½” (unfinished).
Arrange your Christmas stockings as shown and add a 2½” x 14½” piece to the left of each one. Also add one more to the right side of the last stocking block.
Cut 2 – 2″ x 42″ white (background). Sew one to the top and the other to the bottom of the Christmas Stockings table runner.
Add your batting and backing and quilt as desired. Use my machine binding tutorial to add the binding.
