Last year I started making an ornament for each one of my grandkids so they have them when they get older and can decorate their own tree. I am looking for new ideas and some pictures would be great.
Thanks

Karen - Have you seen the ornaments posted on the 3rd Annual Christmas Ornament swap board. There are some really creative ones on there and they are all so beautiful! I am sure you can find something there. Good luck.

There are some really cute ideas here! I'm going to have to keep some in mind as gifts for my quilting friends.
This makes a nice ornament. I taught this to my quilter club and most found it very easy to do. Here is the page for the links to the tutorials.

I made 2 and sewed them back to back with buttons in the center on both sides
Can't get a picture posted from my iPad for some reason.

If you are looking to sew paper pieced ones, there is a source you can use for tree ornaments. The Quilters Newsletter Magazine site has a current project called Christmas Flag. It is for making an American Flag with rows of tiny PP squares. The patterns are really cute and I am going to do a few as ornaments. You go to the magazine main site and click Web Extras. Look on the drop down menu for Christmas Flag and click on it. There are free PP patterns for the blocks until Nov. 6.
My guild has a annual Christmas ornament swap. One thing I have made is stars from the center bits of Mariner's Compass patterns.
I will be watching this thread, I want to make quilted ornaments for my quilty friends
