Amara’s Cross-stitched Christmas stocking
I started this stocking February 1, two months before Amara's birth. It took me nine months and three weeks to stitch. I wrote a note to her on the inside lining for her to read every year at Christmas. It measures about 14 inches top to bottom, and it took about 20,000 stitches. I loved doing it for her but I’m so glad it’s finished!!

Mary, that is truly a work of art to be treasured for years to come. I see now why it took so many stitching hours.
