My aunt Shirley made our stockings for us when we were little kids. Mine was green and I LOVED it. I remember having it when I moved to Boston but it's now gone. I was telling my cousin Julie (aunt Shirley's youngest daughter) that two weeks ago when she was visiting and within a week I received this stocking from her. It's beautiful! It's quilted and my name is embroidered on the top (with "ep" embroidered on the back side). I love it!! My cousin is amazing. She loves making things and she loves embroidering on the things she makes!
This picture is of my new stocking hanging on our Grandmother Pitchforth's high chair (she was born in 1898 in Nephi, Utah and died in 1992). I think Julie and I inherited our love of baking/sewing from Athelia Booth Pitchforth!
