Last night I put the final stitches in our son's stocking. I'd finished stitching our future D-I-L's stocking earlier this month. My goal was to finish by the end of May and, happily, I met my goal. They're from a single design from The World of Cross Stitching #195 and stitched 2/2 with DMC 3865 on 28 count Cashel Christmas Red linen by Zweigart. The backstory....I'd stitched a cat piece for Trisha for Christmas 2019 and she requested stockings. (Someone requesting my stitching was amazing!) I asked for her input on "the look" and this is what we came up with.) There's only one design and I altered each stocking just a bit....a row of cats on hers and a row of houses on his (They recently bought their first house.) I also didn't like the original font for the names so I used another alphabet.
Without further ado.......
