It’s that time again! The time I get to share my progress on the Christmas Stocking I have been working on for a long time. This is where I was last time:

I had finished the back stitching and was ready to move the hoop to the next section to start the cross stitching there. This is where I am now:

All of the cross stitching in this section is done. Yay!! The plan now is to do all the back stitching in this section and then move onto the toe portion. I can really see the light at the end of the tunnel!

EDITED to add the kit this is stitched from: Checking His List Stocking designed by Donna Race from Dimensions.

I managed to get some good work done this month!! This is where I was at the last check in:

And now:

I finished all the backstitching on the upper portion of the stocking. I have now moved my hoop and will start working on the lower part. I always love how the back stitching makes a piece pop.
