First of all, I finished my 12th ornament stitch – “Joy and Peace”!! Isn’t this design adorable?! I love the red and green!!! This concludes my monthly ornament stitching, can’t believe I actually stock to the plan!!! Now all I have to do is finished them up!!

So here are three more of my ornament finishes~~ These are pretty easy to make, and required very little stitching!! Believe it or not, the most difficult part for me was the bow!!! I can never make a perfect bow!!!! Once again, it was Vonna to the rescue. I used her bow tutorial and mine turned out better then before but still not as perfect…. Any tips on making perfect bows?

So here are all six of my LHN ornaments so far~~ The ornie tree is getting a bit crowded!!!
You've made wonderful ornies! I adore them :)
ReplyDeleteBows are hard - yours look great though! Great finishing and congrats on meeting your goal.
ReplyDeletebeautiful finishes!
ReplyDeleteOh, another darling finish, Theresa and your little tree or ornaments is adorable. I really need to stitch more of the LHN series myself!
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning Theresa :)
ReplyDeleteBow making is an at form and I don't do a good job on them myself. BUT if you google "bow making" you can find out lots of good advice and tips. One thing I can tell you, that I have learned is use wider ribbon like 1/2 inch and up (depending on size of project). also wire edged ribbon is FABULOUS for finishing :)
Wonderful ornies...those bows look perfect to me :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornies Theresa!!Love the bows and the fabric you used for the backing!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ornies Theresa! I love the bows AND the cording!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ornaments, love them! Looking forwards to more...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FANTASTIC!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost ashamed to admit I never got beyond the 'rabbit ear' type of way of making a bow. The other way, looping it around, pulling something through that thing, blah blah blah, just never learned it. /shrug
Gorgeous ornaments, but the first one is sooo cute! Great work!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tatyana
