5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Christmas Stocking book for the expert stitcher, January 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Heirloom Christmas Stockings in Cross-Stitch: From Cross Stitch & Country Crafts Magazine (Paperback)

I have made 5 or 6 of these stockings and always get rave reviews about them. I did the sewing room stocking for myself and the little girls room for my daughter. I wish that BH & G would also do one with easier stockings. I know the the original folder patterns for these have another stocking with them and they are much easier for a beginner. It would be nice if they put those in a book.

This is an awesome book. The first stocking came out the year I was born, so my mom made it for me. The when they decided to make it a series, she made the next one for my sister. And the for my brother-in-law, niece, and nephew. Now I am making one for my oldest son, but didn't have any of the other patterns to make one for my youngest. I am so glad to have foud this book! It has nine patterns for beautiful Christmas stockings. I wish I'd known about it before I spent days serching for ack issues of the magazines.

Originally created the Holiday Study stocking from an issue of Cross Stitch & Country Crafts Magazine in 2000 for an elderly relative. After his death, recycled it for a young train lover by picking out the original name and re-naming it. Now, I have grandbabies and stepchildren for whom I need stockings.

Looking forward to creating the Sugar and Spice, Toys and Games, Home For the Holidays, and North Woods stockings for our new additions. If you can find this book, JUMP on it! It's SO fabulous! I feel SO fortunate to have purchased it for $6 on Amazon. I'm not certain, but I believe I spent more than $6 for the one magazine I purchased in 2000. This book is a GEM!
