STOCKINGS

Okay, so nothing is more stale than talking about Christmas in January, but our contractor is working on the mantel over the fireplace and I'm dreaming of the stockings we will finally hang come December!



This is the pattern I'm planning to steal from my friend. Her mom made these and I think they are just perfect! Especially nice touch having each one a different yet coordinating fabric.



Here's a close-up:



11 count Aida was basted to the muslin, cross stitched over, then removed. Voila! Why didn't I ever think of that before?
