Recently I received an email from Louise at CSS with a request to send an angel to one of her testers whose DH passed away. So here's what I came up with. This is the February 2011 angel from her group. They're pretty small 2.31x2.41...I guess they could be considered 'pocket angels'. Each took about 20 minutes to stitch. I had a lot of fun playing with different colors for the wings and body. They were digitized as one color designs, but after the first one stitched, and I saw the wings stitched complete first, I stopped my machine and changed to another color for the body.There is a larger angel to match that's 3.65x3.80 and I hope to get some of those done later. Anywho one of these and a card will be flying to Canada in tomorrows mail.I hope Louise's tester receives a bunch of angels to know she's being thought of and prayers are being said for her as she goes through this difficult time in her life. The sad thing is she has no children, but a niece she's really close to, so that is comforting to know.

wow HC ole sister

hugs from Dj who is here a few day's snd your baby sister

Thank you and your welcome. I love making angels, and these were fun and quick.

Can you please share the yahoo group link - so that we can join in and stitch out one or more of these for Louise's tester?

This is a very cute little angel and I love the different threads you have used.

Oops. I forgot again to post the link.
After you join, have a look in the file area. I think there are more angels from previous years. I have all her 2009-2010 angels and most are FSL. She's got several up for 2011 and is going to upload June soon.
Hope this helps.
Hugs.

this one wasn't one of them available.

My favourite is the one with the shades of purple. Nice work and a lovely thing to do. Good on you!

Thank you very much.

What a cute little angel. Like how you changed up the wings. I'm sure your angel will help lift up this testers spirits. It's difficult to get over the loss of a loved one.
