On a few groups that I belong to, some of the people made these beautiful quilted ornaments. So of course I just had to figure out how they made them. Because I just needed one more craft to do in my life.
So, I began to research how to make them. Pinterest, of course, has a lot of pins of different ornaments people have made. There are a few different patterns, but this one is the basic one. And this is the
tutorial from Pot Holders and Pantyhose.
I used fabric that my sister brought home from Africa. She does work for a non-profit called
Raining Hope, and travels to Uganda twice a year. I thought this would be a great way to use some of the fabric she brings back and to help them raise money for their trips.
I'm still not sure if I like the bows on the top of the ornaments, or if I just want to use jute. I'll have to experiment a bit.
The above two are almost finished. The one on the left is one I made from scraps around the house.
This is a really fun craft to do, a bit more labor intensive than I thought. But a great way to use oup some fabric.
