Enchanted Ornament Stocking - Finished & Stitching ABC #5

Judith and I had a great night at Craft Night on Friday. She helped me finish up the Enchanted Ornament Stocking, and, boy, does it look amazing. Way better than I was hoping for and definitely the best finished of all the stockings I've done (this is number 6). She had some blue fabric with a sparkle pattern that had been sitting in her cupboard for a couple of years - it was as if it had been made for this stocking - a perfect match! She helped me line the stocking too so stuff can be put inside it and won't catch on the threads. I am so pleased with it, I almost don't want to give it away, but it has Scarlet's name on it so I guess it must go to Scarlet!
 
When I first made the tassel, my first ever, it was about 3 times as long as it is in the photo and looked terrible. Once I snipped it off to match the pictured design, it looked so much better and is a real feature of the stocking now...
And here is the finished product. I'm very pleased with it and I am pretty sure little Scarlet and her family will love it too when I give it to her for her first Christmas later in the year.
All I can say is a HUGE THANK YOU to Judith for her assistance, guidance and extra supplies that she let me use.

On Saturday night, we had a family dinner at our place for Mother's Day which was great fun. On Sunday, I continued with the Stitching ABC and finished off the sewing machine and started on the rug below it.
Happy Stitching,
Kerrie

  11. Hi! Your stocking looks great. Could you comment on what you used for the blank white boxes on the cross stitch? I am doing the same stocking and cannot find what fills the white boxes no matter how many times I read the instructions. Thank you! Katie
