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!
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?
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.
