Hello my darling friends~ How has everyone’s week been? I have been busy on wrapping some projects up in the hopes of making the Christmas deadline. Although I’m still working on my last monthly stitch of the Little House Needlework’s ornaments, I finally started to finishing them up. I must say it was quite an impressive pile when I laid them all out on the table~~
Here are my first three ornament finishes using Vonna’s tutorial. I’ve always wanted to try it out when I first saw Vonna’s finish on her blog, and I must say I love how they turned out!!! It is really a easy way to put together an ornament. What a great way for some instant gratification!!!!!

Waouw, Theresa, makes me want to get my needles and threads and stitch. This is absolutely beautiful !
ReplyDeleteSweet finishes, Theresa! I love the felt-finish style.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful finishes! Love them all
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection! The stitching is perfect and you really mastered that finishing technique!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love each and every one, Theresa!! Just perfect :)
ReplyDeleteEach are stunning Theresa :) I love them all! I must say that doing them all in this style makes for a stunning display on a large Christmas tree :) as your eyes travel to them for some reason!
ReplyDeleteYou do have quite the impressive pile! I love how you've finished the first three and can't wait to see what you do with the rest of them. Your finishing is really sharp - look at those perfect corners!

ReplyDeleteI love looking at the whole stack of the unfinished ones too. :)
I'm drooling over your pile of stitched ornaments and very envious of them! Beautiful finishes and thank you for reminding me of Vonna's tutorial, I've been wanting to try that.
ReplyDeleteOoooh!! I'm drooling too over all your ornies!! Your finishing is impeccable and that ornie tree is perfect to display them!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I tried for several hours to finish PS "Christmas Eve Deer" with felt. I used wave rotary cutters, then tried wavy scissors. Neither looked good at the corners. I ended up just finishing it on a matte board.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pile of stitching!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing, love all three ornaments!
Happy Holidays!
Hugs,
