This set of Christmas stockings were the first two in a series of incredibly detailed Christmas stockings, most of which I've already posted.  You can search this blog via the search feature to get all of them together.  This one features one of my most favorite motifs, rocking horses!

Three Cats and Three Quilts Cat One of Three

This is the first in the set of three.  The second in the set was posted yesterday.  This one is an Amish Quilt, a Shaker basket, and a Tuxedo cat.  I've heard that Tuxedo cats, or black and white cats are very talkative and I must believe it is true because my neighbors black and white cat named "Oreo" talks non-stop!
