This week I had to make a gift for my quilt guild raffle. Because we don't have a regular meeting in December, our theme for this month is Christmas. (I know, already!)
I decided to make some little tree ornaments that are made using 1 3/4" strips of fabrics. I sewed four strips together and then cut them out using a 60 degree triangle ruler. I sewed a long strip of brown fabric for the trunk by folding it in half two times ad tucking under the raw edge.
I have a lot of Fig Tree Christmas fabrics left from a few years back, and I like using them to make Christmas items. They are such pretty reds and greens with a bit of a vintage look to them.
After making the trees, I decided to make a couple of little bird ornaments to coordinate with the set. And you know that I love making my little birds. I added a crocheted flower and button accent to them for the "wing."
While I have made these before, I had fun making up a new batch of them. They're quick, easy and fun to make. That's what I love.
What do you think of my little tree ornament assortment? Would you put these on your Christmas tree?
I just want to make more. :)
