Stash raiding again!--this time for the threads to create the Herald Angel's dress. Scouring your stash to find old threads for a new project is a little like traveling down Memory Lane. In this case, the last time I used them was for Mindy's Winter canvas, stitched for my Needlepoint Now column a couple of years ago.
The outline for the hem and accents on the dress were provided with Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #002 in tent stitch. The body of the dress is being stitched in basketweave with Impressions #8112, 8114, and 8116 (darkest to lightest). The hem was filled in with slanted Gobelin stitches. Working my way from right to left, I've reached the tails of the ribbon, a little more than half-way through the dress.

Your use of the slanted gobelin adds a nice touch to the skirt.
