Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Well my daughter was over yesterday and since the Welcome is a gift for her I did not want to work on it while she might peek, so I started one of the Birth Angels that I am going to do for each of my nieces. I was going to start with the oldest and work down from there but no luck. I am going to stitch each on material that is their favorite color and of course her is purple and I don't have any purple.... So I had to move to the second oldest. Her favorite color is Hunter Green and her birth day is in May so........

This is the Month (picture on the pamphlets are small and hard to scan)


Here is some progress (colors are all wrong but the camera would not do a better job, the fab is a very pretty drak green and the colors are 2 shades of pink)

great start on a pretty fabric. I love this idea for your nieces. These are really fun angels to stitch.

What a lovely present for your nieces, and the dark green sounds lovely -- WHY is it so difficult for our cameras to behave and show the colours as they are!

Lovely project I am sure your niece's will be pleased

Great start and pretty design

I despair of ever getting a photo of my fabrics to be the same colour twice.

what a lovely idea for your nieces

looking forward to your updates

Pink on dark green sounds lovely. I know what you mean about cameras and color.

This will be a lovely project. Looking forward to your progress.

Lovely project and really thoughtful. The fabric sounds lovely even if the camera is playing up

What an awesome idea! And May has got to be the best month ever (That's my birth month hehe)

Hope to see an update soon!

It's going to be gorgeous! How many angels in total do you have to do?

I have 8 nieces and one nephew. The nephew is giving me fits because I do not now what design I can find to do for him. I am leaning to Nutcrackers but I have not found one that I like yet. So I am on the look out.

nice idea,good start,pink will pop on that fabric

I am working on this in the mornings when I go let my daughters dog out. Her fiance is out of town and so the puppy needs a pee break on my way to work. I get about 45 minutes in the morning to work, that is when puppy will allow me. He loves to jump in the middle of what I am doing.



The colors are a bit better but still not right.

So pretty!

The fabric color is stunning! And your stitching is so good!

so pretty

Great work

very pretty. I like the colors of this one a lot.
