Santa Sleigh: a wool needlepoint Christmas stocking with Santa. Thousands of small diagonal stitches hold the color and the detail for decades.
Hang it from the mantel, a stair rail, or a bedpost. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
Santa kneels beside an open toy sack in a snow-dusted pine wood, filling a striped stocking, all worked on a navy ground with a deep night sky and a russet-brown foot. Dense and painterly. The sort of stocking that gets pointed at and talked about every year.

Worked in wool with the even tension and clean finish that good needlepoint is judged on. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. Makes a good gift for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December.
