Description

Up for auction a charming hand crafted  fun felt  Christmas Stocking.  It features a group of holiday bears all decked out for the holidays..  At the top is reads "Merry Christmas" and has been personalized with the name KIRSTEN. The name can be easily removed and another one added. The back has red felt that has been stitched together. The characters have all been stuffed with cottom to enhance the 3D look. There is just so much detail in this hand crafted stocking.
The size is 9 1/2 x 16.
Have not found this particular kit but found a similar one from the same company.
Included in this listing is a picture of the similar kit from Needle Treasures Collection and it was design by Joan Marchie which is shown for reference only as this item does not come with a kit.
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)."
