173584WOW! Shirlene this one is fantastic already, even without trimmings, love it!!!!!! The person who has designed/digitized it loves what she is doing. I would say that it's a work of art. Congratulations to you too for having chosen and stitched this design. Hugs, Lidia

Lidia, thank you - yes it is a work of art and I do believe that Lindee does enjoy what she does very much.
78093Beautiful shade. You do such a fantastic job on these angels and FSL in general. She'll be perfect when you finish her. You certainly have patients for the time it takes to do these.

Ramona, thank you this is a gold metallic thread - with this sort of design - because it is digitized so well - you only have to change the bobbin - the rest the machine does - I do have a love of lace.
23222Beautiful! How long does something like this take?

Thank you - it took about 6 hours for the stitching - another couple for the molding and staging - now - it might take about a half hour or more for the embellishments.

42046I'm sure there have been lots more dark red ribbons around here than bright red ones, when the Christmas stock was out! Maybe you could also dye a lighter one if you really wanted that colour, and were stuck. Angels really aren't that much my thing, but this one does look very fancy, with separate sections for each of the skirt parts and all! Thanks for giving us the name of the site, too. I recalled having seen the turtle faces and thongs (flip flops to you)when I went there. Lovely work as always, Shirlene.

29801Lovely angel, I bought this design but haven't started it yet! I imagine it would be hard to find dark red ribbon!

I hope once you do stitch it - you will share it here in projects. I am finding it harder than I thought - but I will keep trying.

Hancock Fabric has a deep burgandy in narrow widths.... but, I can't attest to the type of ribbon it is.

25169She is a pretty color, have you thought of putting brown ribbon with your red crystal. It may sound weird but I love that combination of colors with this gold color,
I am sure anything you put together will be pretty
Hugs

Thank you Michelle - I would attempt that - but this is for a friend that wanted the dark red, so that is what she will get - when I find it. Hehehe! I do like the idea of the brown with this metallic gold, however.
