I love to learn how to do new things and to try and teach myself how to do new things. One thing I have wanted to learn was how to make the "Quilted" ornaments. I finally got up the nerve to try it and make some and I think they are coming along quite well, if I say so myself!!

This is the first one I made..I love this fabric, kind of shabby chic style.

Top with with handmade rolled rose and lace strip on side..bow forms into a ribbon hanger

This one has more a quilt flavor to me..not quite finished, needs topper and still deciding what to top it with..

This one is all a taffeta material

Still needs sides finished and topper

This one is made to resemble a tuxedo..the white is the shirt, the silver the vest and the black the suit itself. Still need to finish the other side and make topper. This one will be part of a "wedding" set as the "groom' and the other will be the "bride".

It is a bit intensive still to me working on them and kind of hard on the fingers, but I love making them!!

Oh they are made on Styrofoam balls, using straight pins and various recycled fabrics.

Bless ya'll!

These are gorgeous. Are they done in a similar way as those pinecone ornaments?

Cyn Gagen on Nov, 01 at 4:19 PM

My camera is just not really good enough to make a good tutorial on them Donna, but I will give it a shot and see what happens.

Cyn, I think it is kind of the same thing but most pinecones I have seen are made with ribbons, but I am sure you could do the same general thing.

And thanks ladies for the comments..

Thanks so much Hive for the feature!!

Gen Voss~The Diversified Crafter on Nov, 01 at 4:23 PM

Cool. Yours look sort of the same as the pinecones and yet more elaborate and so beautiful!!!

Cyn Gagen on Nov, 01 at 4:29 PM

Thanks so very much Melissa!! Cyn, I am working on a Christmas tree using the same basic idea..hope it looks good!!

Gen Voss~The Diversified Crafter on Nov, 01 at 4:53 PM

Gen, these are cute! I'd love to see a whole tree themed with these ornaments!

Hope your necklace arrived safe & sound! {Hugs!}

Oh my these are gorgeous! The first is so pretty - love the rose on top!

Nancy Kirk on Nov, 08 at 2:20 PM

I agree with the other posters. These are beautiful ornaments and 'quilting' is so open to our imaginations and playing with the colors. Thank you for sharing! :)
