At a guild fabric sale a couple years ago I bought several panels of Christmas ornaments for 50¢ or so. These novelty panels are not as prevalent in the stores today as they used to be years ago when my kids were young. We used to make them as a family project... I sewed and turned and they helped stuff. Making these ornaments, even though I have lots and lots and the kids are long since grown, is kind of nostalgic for me. I believe the panels can still be found on e-Bay although at many, many times the 50¢ price tag.
This particular panel consisted of fourteen ornaments in three colors (green, red, cream), in eight shapes: diamond(3), circle(3), heart(3), tree, angel, showman, star, and Santa. The green Christmas tree was the most difficult to turn and stuff but it is my favorite. I am also fond of the red joy diamond and the cream snowman. The gold gilding gives these ornaments an attractive sheen.
I am now trying to remember - is this one of the sets that went home with me at Christmas? I am always a sucker for metallic fabrics, and these look simple and elegant. I love the artwork and they way they turned out! Well done, no mater whose house they ended up at!
ReplyDeleteYup, you chose that set to take home. It was one of the prettier ones. Good choice.
