Since we had a winter storm warning last night (nothing came of it, thank goodness), I figured it's a good time to start talking about Christmas gifts. As soon as I saw one of these quilted ornaments, I knew I had to give it a try. There is a tutorial here.
My suggestions if you decide to give these a go: Make sure you have a lot of pins. Lots and lots of them. Don't go all crazy measuring things. If you eyeball it, it will turn out just fine. Cut yourself a stack of squares, get cozy in front of the television, and go to town. This is a simple project, but pretty time consuming. But this is a good thing, because it means you can watch as much TV as you want. Guilt free. Because you aren't choosing mindless entertainment, you are creating family heirlooms.
Happy Crafting!
That is gorgeous! WOW!!!!!~~~XXOO, Beth

I shouldn't be complaining about a 10 minute sbow shower when you are having a storm warning! Glad it missed you!
Beautiful ornament! I love it!
Have a great day!

Those are absolutely gorgeous. You are so meticulous. I hope my wonky ways will allow me some success because I am going to give this a try for sure.

I really like these boots. Because I have to wear inserts from a bilateral foot deformity I usually cannot get "cool" boots but these worked very well!
