This angel has been designed for the experienced lacemaker. It is named in memory of Margaret Tite, my first lace teacher. Margaret introduced me to Bedfordshire with an edging that had the hearts filled with leaves. The central flower was in one of her favourite pieces of lace.
This item is for the pattern to make your own 'Margaret' only.
