Several years ago I was invited to join fifteen ladies in an annual ornament exchange. Since there happen to be some very creative women in the group, I have been a beneficiary to some absolutely outstanding ornaments that are treasures to be pulled out each year and hung on my tree.
Every year when the activity level in my family picks up speed, I find myself wondering how I will ever get my ornaments done. Fifteen ornaments seem disturbingly daunting. But thanks to an old age art and this tutorial I was able to whip up some lovely ornaments in no time at all. The fabrics came from here and the buttons were gathered from the trusty button box inherited from my maternal grandmother.
The girls and I enjoyed them so much we are planning to get some Christmas fabric and make them to grace our packages.

They're beautiful, Cathy! I love the different colours and textures of the fabric - and I especially like the buttons. . .
So pretty. I hope to visit the tutorial.
What a great idea! These are very pretty...I will have to give this a try.
