In the last week or so, I've had a chance to fully finish a couple of ornaments. These were all stitched this. year and pinned to my quilting design wall to remind me to do the finishing. Typically, I make my own cording and sew it on. This time I tried chenille and glued it on. Time will tell if that was a smart move or not but for now, I'm happy that they're fully finished!

Your ornaments look great. Congrats on the finishing.
Your ornaments are all so pretty.
Funny, I found a bunch of ornaments in my UFO bin & have been finishing them also.
Are you on Instagram?

Gave a great week!

Pretty!
Your trio of finished ornaments look fabulous, Jackie. I love all three, but my favorite is the pair of reindeer. Well done!
I think they are fantastic Jackie! I know it feels great to have them done! :)
Jackie: They are all lovely, I do like the look of chenille, on my stitched items.
I hope you have a wonderful week.

Nice ornaments, you did exceptional work on them.
Your ornaments are all fab Jackie, I especially like the Chessie & Me design. Have a good week!
How nice that you've finished these! If there's one thing this pandemic has been good for, it's catching up on UFOs. I love this new feeling of being caught up except for what's in front of me. I hope your tree is merry. In general, I can't imagine how Christmas will look like this year, though no doubt we won't put up a tree. That's because no one visits us anymore, and what are the chances that we'll be able to travel? I'm so down about all this pandemic stuff, and tired of staying at home. But it's wonderful to see the creations everyone's coming up with, including your lovelies. Stay well!
Super cute! I love the chenille trim. I tried it for the first time last autumn/winter, and I really like it.
Oh my goodness, the amount of work you have put into them. They are just fabulous...
Love each and every one, Jackie! I always glue on my cording with just a teeny bit of glue on a toothpick, working very slowly. I've never had any problems with it showing or not holding even after all these years :)
Hope your last bit of August is good--I'm sure you're looking forward to the cooler fall days ahead! ♥
I love each one!!! What a great idea to use chenille as a cording substitute, gives it another layer of texture. I know you will enjoy them on your tree this year!!
Jackie what great design choices you picked. I love all of your new ornaments. And the chenille trim looks wonderful. Did you find it easy to glue the chennile on. I just got a corder for my birthday to make cording and I have not tried it yet. Any tips??? RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
