Christmas stocking
Ahhhhhhhhh, I have all of the Christmas stockings I need to do to add to our
family this year. We only had one new baby addition to add a stocking on my fireplace I did it early in the year to make sure it was done as I missed last xmas for her first xmas. The years it really is crazy if the following happens: my child marries and I need to create a needlepoint one for the new spouse at their house, one for the spouse for here and one for here for my child as they take the childhood stocking with them. That is three that year and luckily I only design one. Christmas Stocking lady |

Are you asking about stocking construction here?

I saw a cross stitched display in my local shop. They didn't have the
pattern, it was thought to be Peace Earth Angel. It was a large earth in the background with a sitting dark haired angel. For some reason it just spoke to me and the more I think about it, I want to do it. Does anyone know if that is the name of the pattern and if there is a website with a picture? Thanks, Darlene |

Angela Hi Angela...it is really easy, and if you have or can use a sewing machine it is a snap. You will need a piece of fabric for the back and two pieces for the lining. Since I quilt I have odds and ends of muslin which I use for the lining. Decide where you want the edges of the stocking in relation to the design. Mark about a 1/2 an inch from the edge line and trim off the access. I do not trim the top now. You now have the shape of the stocking. The front on the stocking is face up. Put lining on your cutting surface,front to front and using the stocking as a pattern, cut the lining pieces, which you keep together, but put aside. Now place the backing face down and the stocking face up, and cut the backing. Again with both the lining and the backing I leave several inches extra. Stitch the linings together around the stocking shape leaving the top unstitched, about 3/4 of an inch from the edge. This makes the lining fit nicely. Put the face of the stocking next to the face of the backing and stitch 1/2 inch from the edge, around but not the top. Trim edges of lining and stocking and turn stocking so face of stocking and backing are on the outside. The lining will not be turned. Make a hanging tab but cutting a piece of the backing about 1 and 1/2 inches wide and roughly 6 inches long. Fold it so all rough edged are inside and stitch both long sides. Decide where top of the stocking will be. Trim to about a half inch on both lining and stocking. Turn down edges and pin. I then double the tab and stitch it so ends are inside the stocking and pretty much on the inside of the fold line. Stick lining into stocking, and blind tack the lining and stocking tops together. I have no idea how much you have stitched on a machine, so made the directions pretty detailed. It takes me about 15 minutes to finish a stocking. If you have any questions just e-mail me. If you are an experienced stitcher, you can add a cording at the edge by stitching it to the cront of the stocking before you stitch the backing on, then stitch the backing. Boo |

It is World Peace Angel. You can see it at this site.
http://www.tiag.com/designs/LL-51.html . It is designed by Marilyn Leavitt Imblum, under her Lavender & Lace label. She doesn't allow pictures of her work, so you have to go to her website, which I have given you. Supposedly the angel is sitting in a wheelchair. Gillian Florida "D.M.Evans" wrote in message ...

That is it exactly! That the sitting angel might be in a wheelchair is perfect, my sister has been wheelchair bound for the last two years. Each day we have with her, is one more than the doctors hoped. Darlene Now to see about ordering the pattern. "Gillian Murray" wrote in message news:G9Z9d.165$MY.118@trnddc03...
