at long last, an update

I have been stitching ornaments, really. But finishing ... sigh ... remains a bit of a weak spot with me. But here are pictures of a few ornaments I finished yesterday and today. I'm not ready to turn pro, but I think they look okay. :D

The designers are, in order: Blackbird Designs, Birds of a Feather, Heart in Hand,
and Prairie Schooler.




Crafting ornaments

This is my latest ornaments. They are crafting projects from Tilda's "Crafting Christmas Gifts" book.
I have quilted a simple heart, the fabric is a Red Rooster Gentle Christmas Green Garland/Red Dot Stripe on Beige.

And these are six gingerbreads, with various decorations. The buttons are from Shelley's Buttons.

Prairie Schooler Cardinals

I actually finished this a month or so ago, but didn't share as I hadn't made it into an ornament yet. I will do that sooner or later!

I really like this leaflet and may do a few more of the bird duets.

August ornie


This is "Christmas Tree 2007" by Jeannette Douglas. The pattern is found in the October 2007 JCS. I do not know what type of material I stitched it on because it was tagless in my stash, but it felt like there may be a little bit of wool in it.
My photo taking is not the greatest. I just reviewed the post and realized that you may have to click on the photo to see the design properly. Sorry!

Home - July ornament



This is my late July ornament. It's Home, from Heart in Hand.
I have stitched it on a 28ct permin linen color Monet and used the WDW threads.

The back fabric is a Mumm Cozy Northwest Christmas Motif Toss on Blue.
