Here's some freebies from Stitchery Mall I've had a long time, but played with some thread for these. Some color combo's I like, some I don't. LOL But the design stitched out well and I've given a lot away to people I meet out and about.
The bottom three are an silly experiment I messed around with, buy stitching out some parts of doilies...all freebies from somewhere...and then I added them to the Angel of Light torso...also free at Stitchery Mall. They were fun and I'm still trying to improve on the experiment. I have no software to combine designs so all of this was done the hard way...with my ole eyes and moving my hoop around.
Anywho, they were fun and I'll probably make more at some point in time.

Thank you dear one! Remember a while back in Public, you ask what we were all working on or wanted to try? Well this was my little project. Sure was fun, too!!

211079This angel stitches out so great. I have done a bunch of the breast cancer one and taken it to the chemo center not far from me and gave them away. They loved them. What a super idea to combine the top only agel with doily desings. You are very creative.

I'm such a computer 'duh' that I probably couldn't do it with software. LOL But I guess it doesn't hurt to dream...because dreams do come true.
Thank you so much for commenting!

62461These are lovely! I have the top design and also Sonia's Nativity angels and an Easter one. I haven't seen the bottom three before. They look like crochet. Did you add that yourself with the angel top design?

Thank you very much. I have her Nativity set and the Easter also. Haven't stitched the Easter, but did sets for me and my family for our 2010 Christmas.
LOL on your oopsie...I've done the same thing before..I think everyone does every once in a while.

BTW the crochet idea is great and looks lovely! I will have to give that a try-I have sewn out this angel and its detail is
very beautiful and free to boot.

Thank you very much!! I love playing with colors of threads. Sometimes it looks okay and sometimes not...but if I don't experiment, then I would never know. LOL
