Lauren's friend Skye's original stocking was lost; as an extremely good friend, Lauren offered to stitch her a new stocking. Although we couldn't find the exact stocking, we were able to find this lovely Treglown Design stocking. The standard canvas comes with a red background but Lauren's friend is a purple person. So Treglown Designs had it painted with a purple background.
Lauren has been stitching away on this stocking for several months but was really panicked when we all thought Ridgewood Needlepoint was closing. In order to finish in time, she did several stitching marathons of over 12-14 hours of stitching a day.
The final result is lovely.
