Advent Calendar 2018 – No. 16

Twelve easy to work angels have lined up for “Ring a Ring o’ Roses.”

The wreath design was stitched on gray linen with a 13.5/cm thread count.
The project was designed and embroidered by Hermine Schwehn.

Each apron got a different quick to work pattern.
Dresses and heads were outlined only with Coral Knot stitches.
The hairstyles were worked with different combinations of Blanket stitch eyelets and half-eyelet scallops.

Circles with needle lace fillings represent the wings.

The contact from one angel to the next was made with a curved double line of Coral Knot stitches with Satin stitches between.
