Christmas Stocking - Needlepoint

For the book I'm writing I would like to have a character be needlepointing a Christmas stocking - a really nice, big one, with a steam locomotive theme. Santa as an engineer, a locomotive with a Christmas wreath around its headlight, something like that. Can someone suggest one? I've been looking with no success.

Reply online to privately to me, whichever. Thanks so much!

This is not exactly what you are lookiing for, it is a toy train and a little cartoonish but it might work

A lot of NP is hand-painted, and those have variations. I was in a shop with a lot of hand-painted canvases, and said "that's cute, too bad it doesn't have X on it", and she rummaged through her files and found a canvas exactly as I described. Seems the artist had gone on a kick, painting a series of canvases on the same theme, with this, that and the other prop added.

So maybe if you make it a hand-painted or custom-painted canvas instead of a kit?

Mary Monica,

I'd really suggest that you contact Susan Roberts NPt. I'll send you some info separately. On this link is a mini-stocking with Santa and a train,

to give you an idea, but she has lots of full size ones. I know that she has what you're looking for, between her own designs, and those others she reps under her label. I saw a lot of her things, and ordered them, when at TNNA (the big show) in June. Alos, you could contact Cindy at "The Hang-Up" in Sterling, VA. Cindy just had a big trunk show of Susan's during the summer, and has quite a lot of her painted canvases in.

I'll take a look at the catalog when I'm in the shop next, but I'm fairly certain that Susan would be the best quality of what you're looking for - with that design.

Good luck, Ellice
