I treated myself to a new pattern called Guardian Angels. I thought it was nice as a gift idea and they can be used for ornaments for next Christmas. The pattern is by Bird Brain Designs. She also has some nice free designs.
I made the first two, like the pattern, with batting wings. The thing I didn't like was, the stitching shows through the batting on the other side, so I don't feel it is a very neat finish. I antiqued them and put in the dryer, and I like how they held up and how they look, so maybe a double batting to hide the sloppy stitches on the heart.
I have a new computer, and the photoshop upgrade, so I can use my new camera now. I still need to practice with settings and getting the photos to look the way I want, so I hope they look nice on your computer.

The second pair, I went with extra colors and like how they look. I also used fabric and a piece of batting to make the wings. I also stitched the body using thread and running it along the outer stitch to hid it. I think it has more substance to them and a lot neat on the back side.

Hi,
I like both sets, but would like to see one more with a medium for the wings.
They look like they are perfect angels to guard over someone special.
They all look great with white or red wings.
I like them both!
Hugs,
Pam

Positively gorgeous. Positively gorgeous!
May I ask what you use to do the transferring of the pattern? I say.........I shy away from doing patterns like this because it seems it would take me hours to trace the pattern.
I am amazed over how fast you complete your projects.
Well I love them both too - really darling!
I like the extra colors too:) Great pattern. -Steph-
