Angel Makeover

Hard to tell, but she is holding a stuffed heart
please excuse my messy ironing board cover, guess I need a new one
I was into making crafty things in the mid-90's as well as just starting my quilting journey.  I made my Mother this Muslin Angel in 1996 and she has proudly displayed it every Christmas since.  Poor angel was starting to look a bit the worse for wear so Mother asked if I could freshen her up.  I got rid of her messy hair and added brand new hair.  Gave her muslin skirt an ironing and fluffing and now she is as good as new.

  4. I have a muslin angel my mom made me ages ago. In the '80s maybe. She probably needs a makeover too.
