The First Noel

The Angels Did Say.

So you remember my stocking tree and Santa.

I decided I wanted to make another stocking.

Much larger.

The candy canes were chain stitched 

using red valdani. 

I love how they turned out.

Now for the holly berries,

I like to make a square first.

Then I cut my squares to make circles.

Perfect berries... each one a bit different.

Did you know Noel is the English synonym for

Christmas.

I used all wool to make my Noel stocking.

It was a pattern from a book I purchased.

Now what to put on each side?

Roses hips and white tallow berries.

Tied together with the same fabric as my

lil stockings.

So glad I was able to finish this.

My original plan was to make three stockings.

Looks like next year for the others.

It seems I never have enough time to

finish some things.

Do you have trouble finishing things? 

Noel Blessings To All!
