The Result is Absolutely Worth the Effort
The finished result is indeed an heirloom. I stitiched 2 of the stockings, one for each sibling, when they were originally published in CS&CC. I still have those issues. The charts proved so popular that initially, they were reissued individually. The stitches used in these design are full cross, half-cross, and fractional stitches - a WHOLE LOT of fractional stitches due to the detail - but absolutely worth the effort. Also straight and back stitches, french knots and some very simple lazy daisy stitches. The original 1991 Music Room chart calls for limited use of Kreinik Balger. It is charted for Anchor and DMC and uses some blended threads as well. These charts are not for the rank beginner, but with just a little experience and patience, most stitchers should have few problems and enjoy the small challenges. You will want to make a working copy to increase the size of the grids to make the details easier to see and stitch. Of all the Christmas things I've made over the many years, these stockings have always been my favorite. I'd not hesitate to stitch another if the opportunity arose. Since my old magazines have yellowed and are well worn with age and handling, having a hardbound book with just the stocking charts would be a real treasure.Lire l'avis complet...
Heirloom Christmas Stockings in Cross Stitch BH&G 1995
This is in the top twenty of cross stitch books. These Christmas stockings stitched on 25 Mushroom Lugana are not for the beginner but they will be a masterpiece when stitched. There are nine stockings in this book that were on the July issues of Cross Stitch and Country Crafts in the Eighties and Early Nineties. Instead of trying to locate the magazines and gettting the rest of the junk in them, get this masterpiece of a book. It is a collectors item. I personally do not have it in me to stitch these stockings but as a retailer.. I have seen all stitched at least three or four times each by customers and I marvel at each one that is broght in. You won't regret your purchase on this book.Lire l'avis complet...
Most Beautiful Stockings That Can Be Cross Stitched
This book is wonderful. You will not find a better set of designs to make stockings from. The charts are very easy to read, and even though it is an "expert" book, the directions for the special stitches in the back were so clear that even I could pick this up after an almost 20 year cross stitch hiatus.
The designs are timeless and ageless. Your children, friends, and family will be able to use and enjoy these for their entire lives.Lire l'avis complet...

Excellent experience; beautiful product, good condition, shipped quickly,
So incredibly grateful to find this book! I have remembered it ever since I saw a friend working one of the designs, decades ago.
It came in excellent condition, & very quickly, too. I am looking forward to beginning to make stockings, ornaments & other objects, based on the designs. I don't think I've ever seen a better collection of beautiful stocking designs.Lire l'avis complet...

Loved Heirloom Christmas Stockings
The special joy I receive when I know these stockings are hung each Christmas with love is wonderful. I am just finishing my fourth Heirloom Stocking for our last Grandchild. These Stockings are beautiful when completed. I had the pages enlarged to work easier. I did all four on aida and they worked out great.Lire l'avis complet...
