Behind the Lace Curtains-Monday Mementos, Needleworks Part 5

I started this Christmas stocking for myself years ago, and I still have to sew it together.  I really loved stitching this one of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus.  It combined candlewicking, crewel work and some specialized embroidery stitches to create a gorgeous pattern.  Maybe I’ll finish it this year!
