Vintage Christmas Ornament #12

If you’re just joining in on The Vintage Christmas Ornaments Quilt-Along, you can click HERE to get started. All the related links are also in the sidebar to the right.

It’s Ornament #12! The final ornament in the set. Our collection is complete. And if I do say so myself, I love them all!

Here’s the embroidery version:

Once again, I’ve explained the stitches and colors I used in the pattern, but it’s only a guideline. Please feel free to do your own thing! There are links in the sidebar to my favorite sites for embroidery stitch instructions (under Favorite Links).

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

Of course, more rickrack! I managed to find a proper rickrack to use on every one of my ornaments, which makes me happy no end! (It’s the little things.)

Also, please note that I fussy cut my center dot from a polka dot print. It kept me from having to appliqué an actual circle that size, and just added a little extra in a simple way.

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

I used fabric strips for the stripes on this one, and once again, I fussy cut the center dot from a polka dot print — a large dot this time.

You could also use any type of embellishment for that center dot, such as a button or charm.

Have fun making them all your own!

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

That was our final ornament! I’ve been a long time getting all of them finished and out there (longer than I intended, but hopefully worth it.)

I’ll be back with designs for the hanging strings on the embroidered version, so check back for those. It’ll be a free download.

There’s also a free bonus pattern coming out very soon, that can be used as a stand-alone pattern, or used in the throw quilt version of our quilt-along.

Finishing instructions for all the versions are next. You can choose whichever version you wish to finish out your Vintage Christmas Ornaments project. You can see all the various setting options and possible layouts HERE.

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