Christmas Stockings
In the interests of keeping a record I have photographed these two small Christmas stockings. They are meant to be tree decorations which gives you some idea of size.
Over the years I have made several of these as gifts but made the effort to try a hardanger lacy edge on one this time. The one on the right has the lacy edge. I found it to be a lot less difficult than I had imagined so will definitely try that again. The stocking on the left was supposed to have picots in each of the square holes but I admit to being rather afraid of picots and generally leave them out. Perhaps that is the next Everest to conquer?
Your hardanger work is always a treat to see Margaret. I'm sure you would cope with the picots very well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, I certainly intend to practice picots as I do love hardanger which tends to have picots on every piece.
DeleteI have to say that they both look gorgeous to me!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLove the stockings!
ReplyDeleteI'm rather pleased with them myself.
DeleteVery pretty stockings, they will make lovely decorations.
ReplyDeleteMy tree won't be going up this year so perhaps for 2020?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to use some of your beloved hardanger stitching!
ReplyDeleteI think they are really effective and they do make a lovely gift.
DeleteThey're both quite pretty and very detailed oriented. Will be very special on your Christmas Tree.

These ones are destined for gifts Sandy but I plan on making some for my tree too - perhaps next year?
DeleteThey're so pretty and will look beautiful on your tree.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they look fantastic! I'm sure you can conquer picots, although I actually have no idea what they are!
