I purchased a Christmas stocking that is absolutely beautiful. The work is incredible. Detailed, materials used are lovely and varied. There is nothing ordinary about this stocking, it is special in every way. I want to order more throughout the year.

Each time you look at the stocking you will see something else they have sewn. I really love this stocking very much. I thank these ladies and wish them a very Happy Christmas!
The beautiful Appliqued Christmas Stockings are basically one of a kind and OH SO INTRICATELY DESIGNED. They will grace our Christmas fireplace mantle in the coming years and, some day, there will be one to pass along to each of our two daughters to display in their homes at Christmas.
