This is my favorite cross stitch book, I've used it for so long and so hard it has compleatly fallen apart! All of the angels are adorable. The charts are clear and easy to read and the patters are easy to adapt to other projects. I stitched my moms name, JOY, with the angels on letters pattern, did the small Raphael Cherub on 32 ct brown linen and compleated the Herb Angel, each project was spectacular!! I would never lend out this book, for fear it would not come home again! Happy stitching!

I bought this book because of the adorable Raphael angel on the cover. The charts are all large enough and easy to read, and all of the finished projects are a manageable size. I've seen charts of the Raphael angel before but I was discouraged from buying them because they were too large which means you would have to special order the fabric and then spend a fortune framing the finished piece, so I never bought any of them. But this book was "an answer to prayer!" The Raphael angel, of course, is my favorite piece, but there are all kinds and types of angels in here of differnt sizes and incorporating different themes. I appreciate that none of them are too large and that none of them would take very long to complete. If you know someone who loves cross stitch and angels, this book would make a very lovely gift. There is also an adorable angel alphabet. Just think of the many ways you could use that to make various gifts. I was also very fortunate to get this book used, in excellent condition, for a very low price. It is worth buying many of these books used because you can get a substantial discount.

If you like angels, you will love this book. It has a variety of easy to complex projects, one includes ribbon embroidery. There are so many cute projects, you won't know which one to do first.

I remember seeing this book about 17 years ago at Walmart and I wanted to buy it and do the Herb Angel because it looked so much like my daughter at the time. well, never got the book but that angel stuck in my head. Leisure Arts discontinued the book and even though there was one available from the library, I still wanted my own copy. I cried when it arrived because of all the memories but now am working on the Herb Angel for my daughter (15 years later)who now has her own place and loves cooking. thanks to the seller.

I have loved the classic picture with an angel protecting two kids while they are crossing the bridge. I was glad when this book came out with my favorite picture and with so many other projects for different occasions. If you love cross-stitch and you love angels, this is the book you need to have. My book looks a little worn out just by constantly going through it.
