Featuring a Blonde angel with lacey gold wings and halo, surrounded by a sampler of Christmas trees, hearts, and wreaths~ you'll work a variety of stitches right from the tip of the ribbon look toes to the very top borders. Bright cheery reds from coral to a very deep cherry, and greens ranging from kelly to dark forest green all blend together well, helping this fabulous and long out of production piece to be a showstopper in your holiday stitchery stocking collection.
