Does anyone have an idea on making quilted Christmas ornaments? I need to make about 20, so should get started on something as soon as I can.

I made these quilted balls for christmas last year and they turned out so cute! They were a nice sit on the couch and work on type project! I even put DH to work helping put in pins!

I saw this one here, going to try it.

Good for you to be thinking ahead.
Felt ornaments are pretty easy and fun to make. I just find a clipart image to use the outline as a pattern, then cut, embroider, sequin,blanket stitch the edges and stuff. Try doing a google image search for felt ornaments to get ideas.

The doll I have as my picture is ornament sized. I made crazy quilt body, embroidered and beaded then inset the face. Here is the Christmas version.

Beautiful!!

It is almost Xmas in July!

Thats really cute!

How fancy do you need to be?

If you want very very simple:
Fuise two holiday print fabric between a heavy pellon (preferably fusiable pellon) You will need another fusiable on the unfuised side. Make a large layer of fabric.
Use cookie cutters for design or other pattern. Draw around around and cut out. open a small section and insert another piece of fusiable and your hanging ribbon and refuise.

Another is make balls using (I believe a pentagon shape) and English type piecing. Stuff and hang.

I have used this last technique to make larger balls out of double knit for children's play balls.

If you use the paper pieced balls, and if I can find them I will send you some shapes already printed on lightweight card stock.

Grammy 2 be, your doll ornament is darling! how have you done the face? It looks like porcelin or maybe eggshell.

Thanks for your ideas, you are all great for coming to a person's rescue! I'm keeping a record of your ideas, because each year I try to do something different!

Wow, I can't even think of Christmas yet.

Thank you Amma for re-posting Shelly's ornaments. They are really nice. :-D

Thank you. The face is hand embroidered on a flesh tone fabric like ultra suede using a single thread, then I used brush on blush.
