Xmas stocking help
I have been lurking around for a while and was hoping to tap your vast
experience for a little help. My dd, is crazy for horses. I would like to do a Xmas stocking for her but have been able to find only one kitted pattern. I have started the one with the polar bears that was in Stitchers World 2 years ago for my son and would love a horse done in the blues and whites if such a thing exists. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Kerri Central FL |

I also couldn't find a horse stocking pattern. I would suggest that you
may be able to find a horse pattern you like and stitch it as a stocking. The stocking I'm doing for DW, I've also seen as a rectangular framed piece. The stocking design has just cropped off that which is not stocking shaped. You could extend the background color up to make room for the name. It may be possible to move other elements around to the toe area if needed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have seen a stocking with a horse standing inside the barn door, has dogs
sitting outside it looking at the horses. There was a Christmas wreath and ribbon across the stable door. If I can find it, i'll let you know where. I always check out Christmas stockings when searching the net. I love Christmas, especially all the stockings. Joanie "Kerry Manly" wrote in message m...

Thanks Kerri Central FL I'm guessing that Kustom Krafts/Dyan Allaire would have a blue / white horse pattern -- they do a lot of that sort of shading. And, like the previous poster said, you can play around with sizing and scale to use that motif within a stocking. Or, you could finish the stocking as a "sack" (in other words, a largish drawstring bag), which has worked for me. I did my kids stockings that way and I think they're pretty cool (both the kids and the stockings)! Have fun! Lucy Boyer Cross Stitch Unlimited Arlington, MA USA http://www.stitchstash.com |
