The Papa Noel Christmas stocking showcases embroidered needlepoint stitchwork. The canvas is covered stitch by stitch and the highlights are embroidered in afterwards, so the design has two levels of texture.
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.
Santa turns pastel here, stitched in a soft pink suit against a mint sky with holly sprigs and ribbon-tied ornaments tumbling toward the toe. A teal velvet cuff, teal loop and teal piping frame the whole thing. Sweet without being saccharine, and a clean break from red-and-green tradition.

Stitched ground with embroidery over it, so the design has depth rather than the flat face of a print. Order ahead for Christmas. These are produced once a year and the popular designs go first. Makes a good gift for anyone building a Christmas box worth inheriting.
