If it's Thursday, it's time to take another trip in the wayback machine. This week we'll look at the first six ornaments that I finished in April 2006 - The Year of the Ornament.
Wooly Ornaments
I saw these adorable ornaments in the Mary Maxim catalog and just couldn't resist purchasing the kit.
I love the old-fashioned colors and sweet designs.
 |
| Wooly Tree for Jodie |
In my first session, I cut out all the pieces from the felt.
 |
| Wooly Cat for Julie |
The next session, I lightly glued the pieces together.
After that, each ornament took about three hours to embroider.
 |
| Wooly Santa for Jeanne's husband |
After that, each ornament took about three hours to embroider.
 |
| Wooly Snowman for Jeanne |
Pieces are attached to each other with buttonhole and straight stitch. Embellishments are made with lazy daisy, chain stitch and French (or Colonial) Knots.
 |
| Wolly Sheep for Dale |
These ornaments were great fun to make.
 |
| Wolly Holly for Margaret |
I kept them for my family. They were to be our "2005" ornaments, since I didn't get personalized ornaments made for the previous Christmas.
