The Noel Sampler Stocking was a 2014 release for the Ladies Prim Society. I had just discovered Blackbird Designs that year so missed out on it. Fast forward to June 2021 and I was at the right place at the right time when someone offered the kit on one of the Facebook stash selling sites.
The kit included the fabric, the finishing fabric, the floss and the chart. Since I don’t stitch on linen I used a 16ct aida from my stash, lambswool, I think.
I started stitching on June 27, 2021.

The kit came with green backing fabric but I had a piece of Joyeux Noel Pearl by French General that I decided to use for the back of the stocking.
And I took the last stitches on July 2, 2021.
And my thanks to my stitching friend, Jan Emerick for the lovely finish. I think I need to stitch some more of these little stockings.
