    Do you have a pattern for these or is it your own?

    This year I am cross stitching some nice somewhat simple pictures. Just will need to get them framed. I also have been giving them all home made orniments. some quilted, some cross stitched. they all seem to expect something I made.

    Each year I make Christmas tree ornaments for family and friends. Sometimes I make them from fabrics I used to make the individual a quilt. I need ideas for this year. These are some I've made in the past. They are about 3 to 3-1/2 inches square. I often FMQ the top.

    Faces and hands are ironed on.

    The angel ones were preprinted fabric.

    WOW! What geniuses we have on here! These ideas are fantastic! The only things I could think of are:
    *spicy scented 'mug mats' with a new coffee mug for guys
    *a quilted or cross stitched bread cloth in a basket with a loaf of homemade bread or muffins for anyone
    *pillowcase with a small pocket to hold a very simple handmade stuffed bear for kids

    I did my handwarmers like the rice bags and did them at 4 1/2" and put a note with them to heat in the microwave for 90 seconds..stay warm for abotu 1/2 hour
