Making seasonal angels with this pattern
To
make similar angels for other seasons, substitute another Kreinik Tapestry
(#12) Braid color for the 002J Japan Gold. For instance, choose Tapestry (#12)
Braid in 003 Red or 061 Ruby for a Valentine Angel. Or match a birthstone color
of a special someone with one of Kreinik's jewel tones and stitch it as a
birthday gift.
