Our Chinoiserie Christmas stocking features ornaments and a chinoiserie pattern, worked in embroidered needlepoint. Embroidered needlepoint: the ground is stitched flat and even, the detail sits proud of it.
One for every name on the mantel. Order a set and they hang as a family. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
Blue-and-white tilework medallions and scrolling foliage run the length of a cream needlepoint ground, outlined in navy piping under a matching navy velvet cuff. More Delft than December, which is the point: it hangs happily on a mantel that stays blue all year.

The ground is covered stitch by stitch and the highlights are embroidered on top, the way this line has always been built. Seasonal designs are made in limited runs: once a Christmas design sells through it is usually gone until next year. A thoughtful gift for a gardener, a new house, or a spring birthday, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
