Hi Maryanne, How about tracing cookie cutters on to crazy quilt
patches? Just sew together some scraps, and trace on them. Then
sew them up before you cut them out and cut outside of your sewing
line. Turn inside out and then stuff and embellish. When I do this, I
enlarge a tracing of the cutter on my computer printer so that it's not
too small. You can also trace the outline of your hand (for size) and round it out to make a mitten. Add a little "fur" near the wrist and you have an ornament or a money holder. Same with a mini stocking, or
a gingerbread man. White "slick" paint serves as the icing. These can also be made from felt. Hope this helps a little.

This month's issue of Quiltmaker has some ornaments too.
