"Star of Wonder, Star of Might" -- this is my first "serious" Christmas stocking, and a reminder of that first Christmas long ago and the star symbolizing that great event. Stitched in DMC and Week's perle cottons and Rainbow Gallery fibers, it finishes to a generous 11"w x 16" long stitched on 18ct natural brown linen from Wichelt. A few Mill Hill stars dot the sky.

As a little added bonus, I've included a small star ornament -- "Star of royal beauty bright," stitched on 28ct Woodland linen/silk from Wichelt using Weeks' overdyed floss and a Mill Hill star treasure.
