Gorgeous! I bought a set to make for my sewing room Christmas tree from a vendor. I wish I'd seen yours 1st! Maybe you can either sell your patterns or post them on our tutorial page???

Love them all ... did you make your own templates?

Yes, I made my own templates as I didn't have instructions for these, I just had the pictures.

That is quite okay, I made my own templates as all I had were pictures from the internet. I just cut and sewed and looked at the images for direction. They were not difficult to make, I used back stitch, stem stitch, blanket stitch & fly stitch for the embroidery and joining the pieces together. I just used beads, ribbon etc from my stash. I found the easiest way to cut the holly leaves all the same, was to trace the leaf design onto steam a seam, hand press it to the felt, cut out and peel both paper and sticky web away. Good luck with your Guild, there are lots of pictures on the internet and Pinterest. I have a lot saved here, some I have pinned and some of my own making.

They all came out great. I love sewing on felt and doing felt kits.

Betty J., I love them all, what a wonderful job you did on them, without patterns to boot!!!!! I love Cardinals but if I had to choose one ornament it would be the red bells, are those buttons along the edges?

Adorable. You did a wonderful job. I would happily make any or ALL of them. Hope your class goes well.
