ornaments

Welcome to my sweat shop,

well since we are not turning up the heater much,

it is more accurate to say

Welcome to my ice box!

I have been sewing, like the rest of you,

like a maniac,

hoping to be done soon!

I saw the pattern for these ornaments in

"quilting arts magazine: gifts" of this year.

And of course I had to try!



They are made using an old heirloom sewing technique,

and pretty easy to make.





I like the smaller size better.




I changed a little the size they gave as I did not like
the gap at the bottom, you can see it on the larger red and white.
I prefer to see the 2 parts meeting at the bottom
and a smaller opening.

I have until the end of the week to finish
a few projects that need to be sent to France,
after that, I will be making some more!

Happy sewing!
