I have them hanging from pull cords on lamps around my house and on my nightstand. They are made with such care and love that they make me feel blessed. I thank the Lopez Garcia Family for making them.

This is a large Christmas stocking made by the artisans at Santa Magdalena using the traditional arpillera or patchwork art of sewing three dimensional designs.
