Stockings all in a Row
Here they are folks, all in a row. So fun to make. So much about COLOR!
I think I saved making Brandon's for last because there were... well, rules. No flower prints, no extravagant "froo-froo" embroidery, only manly shades of green to be permitted. I did sneak in a few sparkly silver snowflakes, because the forest scene was just toooooo simple. Actually, I embroidered those while we watched a show together. He kept glancing back at my stitches with a funny look on his fact, so I stopped myself at three!
I was so relieved when the little loopy thing came together on the first try again. Apparently, I am learning folks! Oh, and I think my embroidery in the Dauphin script improved as time went by. Sometime I'm going to have to show you my first attempt at embroidering this script. I-yi-yi!
So that's it. Our patchwork Christmas stockings are done and packed away now for a few months, which gives me some time to figure out how I'm going to hang them over our mantle.
