Well it has been a miserable and cold Sunday here in 'sunny' Spain, temperatures haven't managed to get above 0 deg C, so what does a girl do with herself inbetween projects and so close to xmas????

Make these of course :D

These are the 3" version finished size, point to point measures 2" :shock:
Needless to say these are foundation pieced and a great way to use up all the little scraps of xmas fabrics I have accumulated from the cushions :D

So a big thank you to ShellyQ, and here is a link to her patterns, there are several of different sizes, if anyone would like to download it :D

Another one :D

Loretta, we have a tradition in our home, that wherever we roam, be in on holiday, business or whatever, we bring home a little keepsake for the christmas tree, so when we are dressing the tree every subsequent year, we are reminded by all the different ornaments of lovely memories, the little bear is musical and was bought in Edinburgh quite a few years ago, and still plays ' Auld Lang Syne' :D

Those are just too cute!
Gives me an idea for craft fair!

The 3" are a bit fiddly, but the larger ones are lovely too Terri, and there are 8" and 10" which make lovely round placemats or pot holders etc :D

I just love your ornaments that you made! i wish that i would have started sooner on christmas decorations . I have the bagpipe bear!
we bought it in Scotland, we also buy an ornament when we travel, even on summer vacations to the beach.

Well how is that for a coicidence lol! I think its a lovely and I don't stick to xmas ornaments, one of the last trinkets was a miniature pair of leather shoes I got in Morrocco !!

I just love these little ornaments. You did a fantastic job with them. I might even try a couple for our tree this year.

Happy Holidays,
Cheryl

Those ornaments are just so lovely!!! Wish I had time to make some before Christmas :cry:

Those are really cute! I downloaded the patterns when they were first posted and forgot all about them...too late for this year, but hopefully I'll remember next year!

Those are really pretty and look great on your tree!

Beautiful!!!

Lovely!!!!

Those are darling Izy. You have been busy! I saw the tute that ShelleyQ did and put it on hold for another day. I wonder where she is? Miss seeing her wonderful work.

Those are so cute!!!! Love your tree too! :D

Nice Job!!!

Jan I sent Shelly a pm, asking how she is as we don't see much of her, not heard back yet, will let you all know if I hear from her :D

Very nice.

I love the ornament. I went to a craft show this summer and someone was making ornaments with styrofoam balls that had looked like little quilting squares. Has anyone made any of these before?
P.S. I know this is probably the wrong place to talk about this. But this ornament reminded me of this summer.

Jeanette

Those are really neat, but i don't think I can make anything that small.

Jeanette, there was a post here not long ago about those xmas balls, if I had access to sstyrofoam balls I probably would have made some of those, they are really cute I think I may have bookmarked it, I will have a look for you :D

Here you are: :D

Very nice job!!!

Wow, how large are those? They look like a good size for drink coasters. :?:

Susan there are about 3" finished I think :D Although after all the fiddly sewing I would be reluctant to chance getting them stained :D

love the tree ornaments, thank you!

Me too, what are we waiting for!

Those came out fabulous!
I really love them and am planning to add it to my to do list.... hey.. I think they are already on my to do list!! It's just sad when your to do list is so long that you begin to forget what is on it!

These are gorgeous. From the time we were first married 'til now we have made sure that each year we have at least one (!) new handmade ornament on our tree... we remember the first ones as we place them on the tree each year - we've been married 22 Christmases and have alot of memories now... :)

those are adorable maybe next year I'll make some of those. When we go on trips I always try to buy an ornament also. Quess what? I have that bear! many of the tresures I got from Edinburgh. check my avitar

Love your ornaments..I have been wanting to try some of these but haven't - you just may be pushing me closer to trying.. :-)
