wonderful examples of beautiful Christmas Stockings!!!
Published by LLS , 5 years ago
This is a classic example of beautiful stockings patterns! I have some of the old original magazines from when they came out in the 80's and 90's. I was working on one of Santa's toy workshop and the pattern was accidently destroyed. I was well over half way done working on the stocking. I was so glad when I found this collection of 9 stockings. These are by far the prettiest Christmas stockings I have ever seen or tried to do. They are not for the beginner or someone looking to make a quick stocking. They take a long time, but my oldest still has hers 33 years later.
lots of great stocking ideas!

I too checked this book out of my local library and think it's really good! It's from the publishers of Better Homes and Gardens and Cross Stitch & Country Crafts magazine, and there are some really nice stocking patterns. My favorites are Colonial Heritage Sampler stocking and Victorian stocking (by Barbara Baatz) and Songs of Joy stocking (by Nancy Rossi). There are also smaller patterns where you just stitch the stocking cuff -- cute and don't require as much stitching. There are color photos of every finished stocking, and the charts are color and are easy to follow.
Great Designs

I agree with the previous reviewer, these designs are incredibly beautiful. My sister-in-law owns this book and I have been borrowing it from her over and over. Until I saw this book, it was kind of hard to find stocking designs for everyone that celebrated Christ's birth rather than the coming of Santa Claus. Not any more! (Just so you know, there are also non-religious and Santa designs, too.)

I got this book from the library and I just don't want to return it! It is dissapointing that it is no longer being printed. The designs are beautiful with a great variety to suit everyone. That's great if you are like me and only do cross-stitch for other people!
