These are so beautiful. They are the most beautiful Christmas stockings I've ever seen anywhere, at any time. I went back and read your previous posts and looked at the pictures.. I am so impressed. How long does it take to stitch something like this? I know it must take hours, but can you give an idea just how many hours it took to stitch just one side of a stocking. I machine quilt on my domestic machine, but nothing at all like this.
