Any new ideas?
 

I am wondering if any of you have seen or designed any new Christmas ornaments or gift projects you might share here on the board? Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas!

I would like to know. Also, I can make gifts for the girls. But, what about the guys? Any ideas?

I know they are "old fashioned" but my guys like quillows -- I make them in sports themes. (These are quilts that fold into a pillow)

Oh, I just thought of one thing. I am making mini French braids as wall hangings. Start with a 4 1/4 inch fussy cut on point and work from there. Wish I could find the camera to download a pic.

Sandy you are in luck. Twistedstitcher in this very group made some gorgeous ones a couple of years back. If you go into the advanced search and put in the words "Folded Fabric Star Ornaments", there is her post with a picture. It is about the 13th one down the list. I do not know if she designed them herself, but she might have the instructions non the less.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have made cross-stitch, felt, paper pieced , and beaded ornaments. I did enjoy looking back at the photos of the ornament swaps on the board. Just wondered if anyone had any new ideas for handmade ornaments or gifts. I agree that making for guys is difficult.

I'm still thinking. hopefully this thread will stay current.
Please join the swap this year, it's fun. I'm starting on ornis soon too.
spend alot of time looking though.
