Very First Project |
The Pandas |
|---|---|
 This piece was stitched under the careful supervision of Mrs. Leece at Upper Heyford C.E Primary School. |
 These adorable creatures were created while on holiday in the EU with my Father. |
Celtic Christmas |
The Pansy Sampler |
 This Angel began my addiction to Lavender & Lace patterns. The pattern and supplies were given to me by my Aunt Loraine. |
 This pattern was adapted from Thea Dueck's pattern, on the occasion of my older Sister's wedding. |
The Ice Angel |
The Serenity Prayer |
 After a bit of a challenge, my sister announced they were expecting their first baby. I thought an Angel would be the most appropriate gift.
Since she was due in the winter, this Angel was even more perfect for little Morgan. |
 Designed by D. V. Giampa. Not the most enjoyable piece to stitch, but effective when completed. |
The Angel of the Morning |
The Angel of Light |
 I fell in love with the colour combinations of this Angel. When she was finished, it was clear she was for my little sister. |
 The inspiration to sew this Angel for my Mother came as soon as I saw the little village she was flying over.
It was also chosen by my Mum because of the green robes, which is her favourite colour. |
Beaded Wedding Sampler |
The Angel of the Sea |
 Designed by Needlepoise and was chosen for the wedding of friends while visiting the UK with Evan. |
 Since my first niece was given an Angel at her birth, it was only fair that Paige should receive one too. Because my sister's hair is not blonde,
I felt it more appropriate to stitch this Angel with brown hair. |
Nantucket Rose |
The Angel of Hope |
 Despite not being an Angel, this pattern touched me in a very homely and ancestral kind of way. |
 During the course of my degree, I was inspired to stitch this Angel because she seemed so musical and calming. My favorite colour
also happens to be blue. |
The Lady of the Thread |
In the Arms of an Angel |
 This pattern remains a mystery to me. She is supposed to be stitched on black linen, but I stitched her on bright white and added a
treasure braid to the white of her dress.
|
 To date, one of my crowning achievements. I stitched her specifically at the request of my sister when I unexpectedly became an Aunt
again to little Ella. After stitching 75% of her, I disliked the colour combinations SO much I tore most of it out and added my own
colours. I mixed her sisters' Angels and Celtic Springs' colours for the final result. |
The Faith Sampler |
Another Pansy Sampler |
 My parents celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary in 2005. I modified this pattern to reflect this occasion. |
 This sample was modified and stitched one over one for my cousin's wedding. |
The Angel of Love |
Mother's Tree |
 I had not in fact planned to stitch an Angel for my Father, but instead a cope shield. Since that project will take a few years still, this
Angel called out to be stitched. She is 90% beads...
|
 I was moved by the sentiment of this pattern. How many times do you find a family tree devoted specifically to the maternal
heritage? |
The Angel of Freedom |
The Angel of Grace |
 This Angel is the second of two that I have now stitched for my Mum. She is the mirror image of the Angel of Light. I had to convince
my Mum to let me stitch her because she feared when the two were hung together they would fly into each other.
