Your angel Julie is lovely :applesauce:

You've done a lot of angels! This should be a lovely one. I am really interested in seeing how she looks on purple fabric. Are you glad that you are reaching the "end" of the angels? Seems like you have done at least a year's worth. I know they are truly loved by your nieces!

The December angel looks really pretty, even on the not-so-good cover photo, so looking forward to seeing her stitched!

Oh Carole yes I am happy to be at the end of the angels they are fun and they work up really quick but enough already. I think it would have been more fun if I had not had 3 in June and 2 in May. The multiples made it a bit of a bore. But what can you do the month they were born could not be changed...... :?

So here is Julie all worked up into a bag.

Finally all of them are stitched. Yes I will have to make the bag but that is a 2 hour job and I will most likely do that this weekend. Some will say that the name is spelled wrong but this is the way they spelled it. To many color changes to remember but there were quite a few. I had a bit of trouble with the boarder and name again this time o I would have been finished 2 days ago. :doh: But at last I am done with the angels and I have already started a bit on the boys that will be in a new post.

I am so very upset, over the weekend I pulled out all of the bags and set them out to organize into family groups and as I did that I kept going back to one of the bags and thought why is that like that. There is something off. I thought it was something in the stitching. So I got the books back out and looked it over and walked away and then came back and still it did not look right. But the stitching was right the boarder what were it should be. I could not see what was bothering me. It has niggled in the back of my brain. Finally last night as I was putting together my monthly reminders about what birthdays and appointments on my calendar and it hit. One of the bags I stitched up has the wrong months angel on it. She was born in May and yet for some reason I stitched up the June angel. I am so upset with my mistake. I do not know if I have enough time to redo the angel. I really need to get this right and make the time but gosh darn it why, why did I make this mistake. I had them on a list and they had the month right next to them and yet I stitched the wrong one. :cry: :tantrum: :cry:
