Angel of Mercy II

A note from the artist

This two-sided chart shows how to create several versions. There are options for the angel holding a baby or leading a young boy or a young girl. The angel is shown facing to the right, the opposite of the first "Angel of Mercy." She has long auburn hair that floats between her wings. Her gown is edged in white lace and gold scalloped edges with clusters of blue roses. 

By combining the designs shown in "Angel of Mercy" and "Angel of Mercy II," you can create two designs with the angels facing each other, and personalize the children shown in the pictures. The color of the baby's ribbon can be changed as desired, and the colors in the little boy's sweater can be changed to school colors or any other colors desired. The angel can also be stitched alone.
