    They are so darling. I love them. What is the pattern called? This was also my first Christmas without my grandmother and my mother whom died 10 months apart. I was raised by both these ladies so was a hard day for me and my family. So thoughtful of you to do this for this family. Lovely traditiion.

    What a wonderful project! I love the way you transformed the elves to angel elves so those people are still remembered and you know that they are still part of the family. What a beautiful message for Christmas Day! Thank you!

    What a wonderful way to enjoy each family member! I love how you transformed the two into angels. This was a very creative way to keep them included with the tradition. They are adorable! Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

    I have been trying to find a Christmas elf pattern for months now and these are absolutely adorable. Would love to have that pattern, too. Thank you.

    I've made them for my family members and other friends throughout the years and I lost count, but I know it's been many! I loved each and every one of them.

    It's an old pattern I've had for many years. Don't think it's available and of course I can't find the original to give you the name and designer. I use copies of the pieces so that I could save the original. When I get a chance to hunt for the original, I'll post the name and designer. Thanks for looking and enjoying the elves.
