I saw these adorable ornaments in the Mary Maxim catalog and just couldn't resist purchasing the kit. I love the old-fashioned colors and sweet designs.

In my first session, I cut out all the pieces from the felt.

The next session, I lightly glued the pieces together.

After that, each ornament took about three hours to embroider.

Pieces are attached to each other with buttonhole and straight stitch. Embellishments are made with lazy daisy, chain stitch and French (or Colonial) Knots.

These ornaments were great fun to make. I'm keeping them for my family. They are to be our "2005" ornaments. I made a lot of ornaments last year, but sent most of them to the auction for the Diabetes Association. My oldest daughter was disappointed that she didn't get a Mom-made ornament last Christmas. Now she'll have one.
