It is a finish UPDATED!

Here is a better photo!

Tonight I finished finishing the Penguin stocking--try saying that fast five times! This is a Kathy Schenkel design that I stitched for my great nephew, Peyton. I lined the inside with white satin and the back is blue moire to match the water. I stitched the gold braid trim around the top, just at the seam where the lining meets the canvas front and moire back. I used #4 Kreinik to stitch this down. Then, I tucked the little penguin in the top. Unfortunately, I set this against black velvet to take the picture and his arms are hard to see! But he really does have them:
