She's done! A gazillion French knots later, the Christmas Angel is ready to step out for the holidays. Remember the final scene in the movies White Christmas and Holiday Inn, when Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen appear onstage in front of a backdrop of falling snow? That's what I think of every time I look at this angel!
The hardest part of stitching this canvas was adding a few more French knots around the lantern after the charms--in two parts and tacked together with Kreinik metallic thread--had been attached.
It's too late for her to make an appearance this year, but she'll go in the queue for finishing in 2015.

Love the movie reference. I agree.
