I've made 5 of them so far and have 7 more to finish before Christmas. They are really pretty easy to make, just putzy. I've put DH to work putting my pins inthe center so that saves a little time. I should try the sticky thimbles. I don't have any so I guess that means a trip to Joanns! :lol: :twisted:

I love those and they are easy to make. I got my pattern from a book, but about.com has a "how to make" complete with pictures. go to the website and search for quilting and Christmas and there it is.

I love those. Can you tell me where to get the pattern?

Thye are beautiful. I have made them in the past, I use a leather thimble to push in the pins.

I posted a link on page one but this one is more detailed.

Those are GORGEOUS! I love them!!!

Very pretty. Everything old is new again! It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to revive an old craft!

These are just beautiful! I have the directions somewhere but I've never made any.

Here is the link for the patterns with pictures

Your ornament is absolutely stunning, and the bows that you put on them are perfect!
I made one last year and it stunk!!!All of my pins showed.

Have also covered the lid of a metal cookie tin, using the same principle. The fabric is stapled onto a cardboard template of the top of the lid and then glued on to the lid.
Then covered the sides of the can with plain fabric.
