Hi Maryanne,

I have seen at least one book on quilted pot holders and or keychains. Don't see why you couldn't scale down (or up) such ideas for ornaments. I believe many of them are paper pieced. I think I've seen the book(s) in the Connecting Threads catalog. You could also check a well-stocked library.

Good luck!

:) :) Thanks to everyone who posted links. I'm not the originator of the question but I was looking for something for this year.

I recently did an online swap so I had been cruising around for ornament patterns for some time.
Check out this site, lots of links for great ideas.

I ended up using one of Carol Doaks paper peiced patterns, it was 4 inches and I reduced it to 3 inches with a copy machine.

I made one from a Quilt in a Day show last year. Unfortunately I was distracted when I put the star together and well, you can see what mistake I made. The finished piece is 2.5 by 2.5 inches.

I've been hunting for a lovely, fancy Ladies'
Victorian high top shoe for a Christmas "stocking". I saw it in passing and did not bookmark the place, now I can't find it.

I want to make more than one for gifts to special people who deserve such a lovely gift.

you should check the smallest quilt ever and look at her quilt. These are adorable hanging on a tree.

Now that Hallowe'en is over, it is time to concentrate on Christmas.......

This board is the best. I spent ages yesterday scouring book shops and magazines for Christmas projects and there was nothing remotely as good as what I can find on this board, in lovely colour, from the comfort of my own home. Thank you everyone!
