Purchased this stocking for my daughter, a children’s librarian and was so excited to see the details sewn into the stocking. People and creatures of the jungle cover this wonderfully colored stocking. Excellent craftsmanship went into this creation.

First, I must say that this is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez. She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. I truly love everything I have gotten from her. This pencil case is very colorful and peaceful and the applique work is excellent.
