I have requested a quilt for Mary from the SOLAK (Stitches of Love and Kindness) group. I used to be very active with them, but have not stitched for a quilt there in a while, so I felt guilty asking, but if anyone deserves one of these quilts, I think that Mary definitely does. As a result, I’ve been brainstorming as to what squares I can contribute to make things go even faster.
As a result, I looked up and printed out the free angels from The Victoria Sampler. I have a total of 6 in mind, with 4 kitted up and two stitched this weekend. I also want to do a larger design that Mary picked out as her Christmas present a little while ago, called Angels Watching from My Big Toe Designs.
Here are the two that I have done so far. Now to kit up two more and stitch four more!

Those are just gorgeous! I picked the Angel of Grace as well. I dont different colors for it and made a few of my own changes though (like I do with most things I stitch! lol). Not sure if you have been to my blog latley, but here is the post with a pic of it: http://stitchingkorner.blogspot.com/2006/10/second-charity-square.html
Hi Jenna! Oh those are lovely angels!! I never knew about SOLAK. Thanks for pointing me in that direction as I LOVE stitching for charity! 🙂 Might have to join and see what’s up. That’s a lovely sentiment you are doing for your friend Mary! She certainly deserves it! 🙂 God bless her!! Let me know if you need any help..depending on when you are going to give her the quilt..I might be able to squeeze out a square.
*BIG HUGE HUGS*

I love your choice in angels – so pretty!
Beautiful choices Jenna!
You are a very dear friend to Mary, she is blessed to have you!
And remember to take care of yourself as well. *hugs*
Wow Jenna – what a wonderful gesture for your friend Mary.
I don’t know when you plan to finish this, but if you plan to complete the quilt at the beginning of 2007, I’d be happy to contribute. (((hugs)))
