Sticking a Pin in Holiday Ornaments

Sticking a Pin in Holiday Ornaments:

As posted on Instagram:

My newest “non sewing” sewers obsession: quilted holiday ornaments! All it takes is beautiful scraps obsessively cut- and folded in a way you no longer see that perfect cut… You’ll need the styrofoam balls of course…and a-few hundred pins per ornament! I searched Pinterest for pattern ideas… give it a try! Happy holidays ya’ll! #styrofoamballornament #tulapinkfabric #quiltedchristmasornaments

I hung them all around the light

in the kitchen over the table!

Shmelf the Liebs Elf & the velcro Menorah Wall Hanging

I am behind on posting projects completed for Hanukkah on my Bernina 880!

These multistep ITH embroideries involve

MANY STEPS...

(over many days...)

but in the end,

are SOOOOOOO worth the result!

I decided to create my own version of

Shmelf the Elf!

I found the pattern at Designs by JuJu!

I HATE Turning & Stuffing those thin pieces!

And Here He Is... (as posted on instagram)

Meet my version of A Holiday Elf. Created on my Bernina 880 with a ITH design by designs by juju called “Elvin the Elf”. He is my version of a Hanukkah Elf! I look forward to the mischief he may share when the grandkids visit! #elvintheelfinthehoop #designsbyjuju #bernina880 #hanukkahelf

Another project for Hanukkah,

I completed:

Is the

LIGHT THE MENORAH WALL HANGING

And I posted to Instagram like this:

I finally got around to creating the LIGHT THE MENORAH WALL HANGING by SCISSORTAIL STICHES on my Bernina 880. It will be a fun share with the grand babies- placing the velcro backed candles in place during the eight nights of Hanukkah. #scissortailstitches#ithembroidery #hanukkahdecor #bernina880plus
