I no longer do Christmas and I'm not particularly "into" angels, but for this holiday time I thought I would post tonight and on the next two Sundays the three angel quilts I own. Not part of TCQC, but in my personal collection.
"A Tiny Angel" Nancy Ota 1996 15.75" square.
Nancy does the most exquisite embroidery and hand quilting of anyone I know. Great fabric selection and accurate workwomanship. This quilt was given as the first prize to the person who sold the most opportunity quilt tickets for Beach Cities Quilters Guild. Since I am not very good at selling anything - even electric blankets in the Arctic - it was an amazing feat, but it was a really great opportunity quilt that year.
The backing is a traditional print with my calling card sewn on (which is how I once marked the quilts I collected) and a label from the Beach Cities Quilt Show. Nancy did not attach a label, but.....
..sort of in the lower right corner she has stitched her name and the date. Yes, that is very tiny stitching - her name is about an inch and the date is 3/8 inch.
