Great Uncle Jon is holding the needlepoint canvas which will be Katelyn's Christmas stocking next year. I am holding Katelyn, age 9 months. Her Gramma Chris brought her by for a visit last summer.
I decided to blog about the adventure of making a hand-needlepointed Christmas stocking...including sewing it up myself. I have finished two previous stockings for Katelyn's older sister and brother-Brooklyn and Nathan. I fear this is a disappearing art, and hope to inspire some of you to give it a try.
At the same time, I am challenged with figuring out how to write this blog and get photos into it from my IPad. Not as easy as I had hoped it would be.
So, enough for the first blog. I am currently charting out the letters for her name at the top of the stocking. Need to adapt the font for a smaller scale canvas and get the letters centered on the stocking.
