Handmade Felt NORTH POLE CHRISTMAS STOCKING Chorus Santa Elf SHIRLEY -JCA New

Description

Up for auction a charming hand crafted  fun felt  Christmas Stocking.  It features santa along with a number of elfs all singing. It is just charming.  All the characters are stuffed with cotton to add a 3D look. At the top it is personalized with the name Shirley. That name can be easily removed and another one added with a glitter pen or embroidery. The front and back are both red felt that are joined together.
On the back there is a label indicating that this was a sales model for kit #04035 and the title was CHRSTMAS CHORUS STOCKING.
The size is 16 1/2 x 9 1/2.
This is from the JCA Needle Treasures Collection and the title is: North Pole Welcome designed by Michael A. LeClair.
I did find the kit but it was no longer available on the internet. I attempted to include a picture of the kit in this listing it was not of a sufficient resolution for Ebay's standards. S
ince the company is no longer making kits, finding this in the future is pretty slim.
This  was a hand crafted model to a  kit which would have been on display in a store to show the prospective buyers how the item will look when finished. It has a label indicating it was done in the Azores.
I learned recently that the name on many of these finished pieces identified the company as JCA Inc. with an address in Massachusettes. They evidently ceased operations and will not be making/distributing anymore needlecraft kits. These finished piece from kits are already hard to find and will only be offered occasionally perhaps on the internet. Per the JCA website:
"Due to the death of our owner, Alan S. Getz, JCA, Inc. has ceased operations indefinitely.
We would like to thank our loyal customers who have supported JCA for over 50 years.
JCA manufactures premium needlecraft products and distributes fine knitting yarns. We are an amalgamation of three companies-Paternayan Brothers (started in 1939), Elsa Williams (started in 1960) and Reynolds Yarns (also started in 1960)."
