A little about this puzzle

An adult fits a curved fabric patch over the heel of a Christmas stocking while a child steadies the wooden darning support. The softly colored pencil-book illustration uses an elevated diagonal view of a sewing table, a side fabric table and a wooden bench beneath a window. Snowy trees and a small house are visible outside, and evergreen branches decorate the window. The eight objects to find, in clue order, are a Christmas stocking, fabric patch, thimble, thread spool, scissors, pincushion, yarn ball and fabric label. Each has one instance in the main scene. The small footer examples are separate clues. Choose the Color or Line art image, use the picture clues to find each object, and keep the Answer key separate until you are ready to check. The three images can be printed or saved as PDF using your browser.
