Finished Ornaments

Each year I participate in a homemade ornament swap on my homemaking list. It's always fun to decide what kind of ornament to make, and then wait to see how many people join in. This year was our largest group with 12 of us taking part. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do, and finally decided to stitch these ornaments from Plum Pudding Needleart. I found the fabric in a charm pack at my favorite quilt shop, and knew that was the easy route to take for finishing the ornaments. I thought I had some deep red ribbon, but unfortunately only had the bright red. But, once they're on the tree, I don't think the difference in colors will show up quite as much as it does here.

I was going to wait to add the photo until all the ornaments were sent out to everyone participating, but since I haven't included any needlework photos here in quite some time, I decided to go ahead and add the pictures.
