I LOVE it!
I wish I had AnnaMarie's patience. I love the appearance of needlepoint scenes done in tent stitch but I just don't have the patience to complete anything as large as a Christmas stocking
The only needlepoint project I ever finished was the sampler stitch pillow shown below and I probably would have given up on it except a co-worker was depending on me. The co-worker had taken a needlepoint class at the community college but the instructor couldn't show her how to do it left-handed. She asked me if I'd like to learn to needlepoint and also figure out how to do it left-handed. I accepted the challenge, thinking easy peasy that can't be too difficult. Boy howdy, was I in for a surprise... not only do you have to reverse the hand motion, you have to start at the opposite corner of the canvas.
We have two pillows cause I also showed my Mom how to make the sampler. My Mom went on to making some really pretty pictures
