Treetop angel, finished






Just had to share the gorgeous finishing job that one of Needle Nicely's finishers did on the Dede treetop angel. 






The moire gusset is about 1 1/4 inches wide.   I love the way it was shaped.  Then a twist cording made from DMC perle 5 was handstitched on.






And the back view of the angel.

  2. Anne, this is a petit-point angel which I finished stitching this fall for a customer who purchased it from Needle Nicely in 1987. She plans to give it to her daughter,
