This was my very first post on the blog way back in December of 2011. This is a Rebecca Wood stocking that Amy Bunger created a stitch guide for. It is next on the list to be finished.

I didn't have a Neon Rays to match the purple ornaments. After the ornaments are on, garland will be couched on. I am so close!
Looks great. You should have this done soon. You are starting to stitch like Palma :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a work of art! Between Amy's direction and your execution, this is going to be an heirloom.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I am so glad you started your blog. It it one of the first things I check each morning. Keep posting
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting with such kind words. That inspires me to keep posting. Hope you have a good weekend with lots of stitching.
ReplyDeleteSteph, it looks so amazing. I really love the stitch for the snow on the ground. I see a happy dance in your future.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic. One of these days I am going to make the time to needlepoint a stocking.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely stitch a stocking. What a happy dance there will be when this one is finished!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteStephanie, is that flair you used as snow on the roof top? I stitch with my laying tool in hand, looks like you do to! Makes a big difference, does't it? Donnelle
ReplyDeleteYes, that is two layers of Flair. I used my hands to lay that flat. Worth the effort!
DeleteHi Steph,
ReplyDeleteThis stocking is spectacular. You are doing a wonderful job stitching it. Cannot wait to see it completed.
