Back in Virginia Beach at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat, I released this chart at the boutique. Your shops will have them next week, so if you'd like yours to set one aside for you, be sure and give them a call! Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday (right along with Christmas), and I can't wait to finally have our family all together again. (I also can't wait to see who gets more of those sweet-honey-candied parts off of the Honeybaked Ham – myself or my dad!)
His & Hers Thanksgiving Stockings
Stitch count: 44 x 121 for each stocking
Fabric used: 35 ct. Olde Town Blend by R&R Reproductions
Threads used: Weeks Dye Works (Putty, Adobe, Chickpea, Oak,
Cinnabar, Confederate Gray, Pelican Gray, Light Khaki,
Oscar, and Onyx)
Mini Rickrack trim in Cocoa and Cinnamon provided by: R&R Reproductions
Buttons provided by: Just Another Button Company *
(Finishing instructions are included in the chart pack.)
* Shop owners, the button packs will be available through Hoffman Distributing.
When I designed these little stockings, I envisioned Mr. Pilgrim being late in bringing dinner home, so to calm Mrs. Pilgrim's ire, he presented her with a large flower.
I'm not sure if his plan worked, however.
I'll see you soon with another Thanksgiving release! You may have already seen it on some blogs, but nevertheless, I'll be showing it soon, with all the info you'll need if you'll be wanting to stitch it.
Happy Day to you!
ETA: Both stockings are stitched over 2 linen threads.
