Free-standing lace offers a perfect palette for a little extra glitz.
I rubbed gold glitter glue over her halo and wings and made her a tiny bouquet with blue strawflowers tied with 1/8″ wide satin ribbon.

As I was stitching and assembling the Poinsettia Angel, it occurred to me I could repurpose her halo section into a setting for a tea light.

My second Heirloom Lace Angel is designed in a more modular manner to make it easier for stitching in smaller hoops.
I’ve also significantly reduced the stitch count on this angel by using appliques for the skirt panels. She also is designed for multiple colors.
No extra sewing is required to finish this angel; she’s assembled by lacing with ribbon. The Poinsettia Angel works better hanging and needs support to stand on her own.

This free-standing lace heart box or sachet can be stitched in hoops as small as 4×4 but you will have to piece the box side panels.
Applique panels are included for inserting into the box lid and bottom. An additional heart design is included for the sachet liner.
Hand or machine stitching is required only to connect the side panels to make them continuous. The box bottom is laced to the sides with ribbon.
A small area in the center of the heart is digitized so that a small monogram or small design (a tiny rosebud is included with the set) can be added.
Includes 16 pages of fully illustrated step-by-step instruction PDF for embroidering lace, assembling the box and sachet, and creating free-standing applique.

This exquisite heirloom lace angel is composed of two pieces. Her skirt “buttons” up the back and the head and wings nestle into slots in the skirt. She can be easily unbuttoned flat for storage or shipped.
If you have a large hoop (200x300mm), she can be sewn in two pieces with no jumps or trims in just one color. She’s also split for smaller (5×7 and larger) hoops where you’ll need to do a bit more work to put her together.
This is a high stitch count design but with a smooth-running machine and a large hoop, she shouldn’t require any fussing once she starts stitching.
Perfect as a tree topper or a mantle decoration, angels are becoming popular as year-round decorations, not just for Christmas.
