It took a lot longer than expected to finish the cuff on the Nutcracker/Packages stocking, but here it is finally!
Once again, I turned to Needle Nicely (www.needlenicely.com) in Vero Beach, Florida, for an alphabet for the name. The shop provided me with a graphed chart that I used to transfer the letters to the canvas with a permanent marker.
The background was worked in a Nobuko stitch with Vineyard Silk Classic Bright White. The letters were formed with blue Petite Very Velvet, which I also used to stitch the dome of the nutcracker's crown in basketweave.
Great looking texture on the cuff!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. You can stitch a stocking for me anytime you have a spare moment or two.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to get in line, Sue. I have one more to do after this one!
