Heirloom Christmas Stockings in Cross-Stitch

This book is a beautiful book that contains 9 of the heirloom stockings patterns featured in the 1980's and 1990's 'Country Crafts & Cross stitch".I have made two of them myself so far, and even if one does not have the patience to do the whole stocking, there are many smaller projects that one can do as well.Very nice book, greatly recommended!

This book is so inspiring, the pictures are beautiful, and makes you really look forward to christmas already in March! :-) There are many nice patterns, both for the famous heirloom stockings, which will make great heirlooms in your family, as well as smaller patterns for pins, gift tags, buttons, brooches and much moore!!!Dearly recommended!

I saw the price tag of $153 for a used book and was in disbelief. At the BH & G website you will find this message: "We want to share some exciting news!

Scroll down and you will see this message from the Cross Stitch Editor from the Creative Crafts div.

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.
