Description: We are showing two options for stitching Angels Unawares. Both choices are done with one strand of Weeks Dye Works and Sampler Threads over one linen thread. If you choose to use any other fiber, you will not get the same appearance as our model. You can certainly stitch any of our designs over two linen threads, but will require different framing or finishing. Framed in an Olde Colonial frame, our model is stitched on 32-count Light Mocha Belfast by Zweigart from Norden Crafts. Stitched on a pre-finished large box from Adam Original allows for personalization. Angels Unawares is stitched on the front of the box which is 27-count Natural linen. On the gusset which is 28-count Riviera Gingham (Cream/Natural), we have added our own verse to the sides and top. Happy Heart on the left gusset, Happy Home on the top gusset and Happy Life on the right gusset. We have also provided an alphabet and numbers to add personalization to the back of the box. Ours has a name and the year. We put each letter and number in a single gingham square.
