Done with the ornaments! Doing a happy dance.

I don’t know if December 1 is a new record for being done, but I finished yesterday. Maybe back in 2020 when I had to mail them because we did not see our daughter due to the pandemic I got them done that early. There were plenty of years when I was working on them on December 24. I’ve always gotten them done before Christmas, however.

There were plenty of challenges with these ornaments. The small size made them really difficult to turn. I had to figure out how to make a cone hat and a cape. The tiny pieces were difficult to cut out. But they are now done except for attaching hanging cords. The largest ones are 7 inches tall. 

Here they are in the box I plan on packing them in for wrapping. Once our Christmas tree is up I will take photos of them hanging on the tree.

The Enoch King and black cat, Wert and Beatrice the talking bird, the Beast, Greg and Kitty the frog

So we are done for another year. I can’t wait to see her reaction to this collection of ornaments.

The class is over....

The 5 week class I was teaching on making an art quilt from a photo finished this morning. It went really well. My students that had fear got over their fears and made great quilts! The class was a positive experience for them as well as me.

Two of the students finished their quilts.

Christy's Lotus. She is already planning her next art quilt.

Melanie's arch just glows!

Two of the students are still working on their tops and have to stitch the pieces down and quilt it.

Melissa's lighthouse. Look at those rocks.

Wendy's granddaughter. How about those blue eyes!

Two of the students are still getting started on theirs and I don't have any photos to post. We are going to get together in 6 weeks to celebrate their success.

I think the students did an amazing job on their first art quilts. What do you think? I hope to teach the class again in the future.
