Vintage Christmas Ornament #3

It’s time for Ornament #3!

If you’re just getting started, I recommend that you go back and read all the posts from the beginning, so you can have access to all the extra links and info. The links are in the sidebar at right, so you can navigate easily.

Here’s my three ornaments altogether for my throw quilt version:

Here’s the stitchery version:

In the pattern, I show you what stitches and colors I used where, but it’s only a guideline. For this ornament, the stitchery version is a bit smaller than the appliqué ones. However, if you wish to use the larger one for your stitchery, all you have to do is swap the templates. The difference is not that great.

Here’s my appliqué version for the throw quilt option:

Since I’ve been using rickrack on all my ornaments so far, I opted to add some stripes to my plain ornament, just so I could use some rickrack on this one, too. Totally optional!

Here’s my appliqué version for the wall quilt option:

You will notice that there is just a touch of embroidery embellishment on the two appliqué versions — if you don’t want to do embroidery for those lines, you can choose a piece of fabric with a motif that can be fussy cut, you can ink them on with a fabric marker, you can attach an embellishment of your choice, or you can leave it off altogether.

As usual, you have lots of options with these, so you can make them all your own!

The pattern is available as a PDF instant download in Hazel’s Mercantile for the bargain price of $1.75. It has all the instructions for all the versions of the ornament shown above, along with full-size templates, and all the information I could think of to include. It’s ready for download, so you can get started right away!

Again, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask. I’ll be happy to answer!

Happy Stitching!
