Karen & Susan -- love your ornaments!

Last year I did one knitted ornament & one sewn ornament.

Do we have a deadline mailing date? Was it posted and I missed it? Also, do we open as we get them or wait for an opening date? I'm so confused!

i love quilting but have never been able to stand using a thimble. Therefore my fingers have callouses. i am also diabetic so am used to pricking my fingers. with that said, why is it when i hand sew anything, i tend to sew myself to whatever project i am working on? And i dont feel it til i pull my thread taut. but then that was just the 6th time today. but the ornament is getting done.

I can't seem to stop trying to make something new. I have started about 6 different ornaments and don't feel satisfied with any of them! I hope my partner likes what I finally decide on!

I like the ornament swap, but I was hesitating cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to get is done. But it is a fun swap, and I should be able to get one made.
And GraceAnn and calla I appreciate your intimidation- I almost feel that way too. But I know from experience that the swaps here on the Board everyone is accepting of each other where they are, so relax make your ornament it will be wonderful.
I decided to jump in and will send my info now as I will be unavailable over the weekend.

Thought I would post some pictures of the Christmas Ornaments I made for my Craft Stall at the end of August.
Some of these ornaments are Machine embroidered ITH designs and some have been machine stitched and hand finished.
