Trying to decide what to make so I can get these in the mail before we leave on vacation. Have a couple of ideas but so hard with all these very talented people here on the board.

We could have a rerun of last year, huh? LOL!

Did anyone else notice that when we sign up to send out an ornament or two, we end up making a LOT more? 'Cause you know, now you have to make them for family, and friends, and as little gifts for club members, etc., etc.

I can't take credit for the ornaments. I got the patterns from an older Christmas book from House of White Birches called Country Christmas Quilting published in 1999 for those of you who're looking for the pattern.

I have been enjoying working on my ornaments for this swap!

lynnie 10-03-2012 05:04 PM

Mailed mine out today, you should get it by the weekend, let me know if you like them. You each got two.can you post pics for me thanks

Brandy 10-03-2012 05:06 PM

Crafty Darlene 10-03-2012 05:31 PM

I agree with everyone! Those nativity ornaments are just beautiful! Hope to get my made by this weekend.

Anastasia 10-03-2012 06:34 PM

I hope to get mine done this weekend. And I agree, once you make 2 for the swap then you gotta make more for everyone else.

marytoddliz 10-03-2012 07:34 PM

One down one to go! I sure have been doing a lot of hand work today! for someone who does not like it! But I finished 3 projects and that feels great!

starshine 10-03-2012 08:04 PM

Mdall, got to have that snowman. I have so many wood spools, he would be a great one to make with them.

Crafty Darlene 10-04-2012 09:21 AM

Mdall love those ornaments they are both cute but I love that snowman!

Anastasia 10-04-2012 10:26 AM

awwwww.. I loves them all.

owlvamp 10-04-2012 11:07 AM

Beautiful ornaments. Love the snowman!

Elisabrat 10-04-2012 11:24 AM

funny the snowman spoolman was my favorite too maybe its going to roll on over here??? I got a great idea from your nativity I think I can make a couple nuns for a friend of mine, a little spin she will love it.. also going to turn one maybe into a nurse for my favorite nurse at the dialysis place red cross one .. super little ornaments.

I started mine today! just need to add buttons, beads and stitch it together and I will be done. Not much really once you get the concept down.. I sit often for a long time twiddling my thumbs and then its oh heck I can do.. still more to make more homes they need to go to. I truly like making ornaments small, fast to work on and well you get such lovely results really quick so they are rewarding too.. surely all of you feel the same way. Anastasia poor girl your going to get some tired fingers working them to the bones like that.. one more wont kill you would you like my mail to?

That's such a good idea to make all those other professions out of the one ornament :) And I already have your mail to crazy lady. Maybe you'll get my prototype hahaha.

lynnie 10-04-2012 01:12 PM

Aow, those ornis are nice, love both of them.

Okay ladies, instead of the sewing machine had to get out the jigsaw and the paint sprayer but here was my idea of the not so typical "tree" ornament? Would you be happy or unhappy with 1 of these? Please please be honest, 'cause I sure wouldn't want to send it if you didn't like it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]367559[/ATTACH]It all comes apart in 6 pieces.

brenda21 10-04-2012 03:49 PM

Jaba~I think the reindeer is adorable....I LOVE IT!!

mdall~really cute ornaments!

I am loving the quilt...time to move it from the camper to the living room! Yeah, I love anything Steeler's as you know!

thomp116 10-04-2012 03:58 PM

Jaba.....did you want my address? Of course we'd love the reindeer!

Too cute, mdall!

The book with the nativity is probably the one book I don't have! Love the idea of making different kinds.

I made ornaments yesterday and today, but haven't decided if these will make the cut. Still have time, so we will see.

It is lovely. I would love to receive the reindeer ornament. I would buy them for my little nieces and nephew too. I hope you are sending your ornament North of the border.

Tam...Moo 10-04-2012 04:21 PM

Love the reindeer!!!
 
That is so cute! I love it....there is a long story behind the reindeer for me (husband's uncle used to raise reindeer in Michigan) but they just make me smile and I know that the lucky recipient will treasure it for sure.

Thanks for sharing.
