Ornament for Edgar
Edgar is October's recipient for the Christmas Ornament Swap. Again, I agonized over the finishing and let it sit for a couple of weeks. I believe I've said before that I don't sew. Anything around here is hand-sewn, which I'm not very proficient at. But, luckily, I think it turned out! And even better, Edgar likes it :)
"Quaker Christmas Tree"
Staci, it's just gorgeous and obvious that Edgar loves it :) What a great choice :)
ReplyDeleteStaci, it is beautiful! Stitches and finish!
ReplyDeleteStaci, this is so gorgeous, and your finishing is superb!
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautifully hand-sewn, the shape is so cute!
I'm sure Edgar loves it as it's Quaker! :D
Oh, it's amazing! Very beautiful form and finishing :)
ReplyDeleteFor someone that doesn't like to sew you did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Edgar's blog. It's gorgeous - I wonder how I missed this in the JCS 2002 - off to check it out.
ReplyDeleteQuaker Christmas Tree ornie is beautiful. And I love that pumpkin FOB.
ReplyDeleteOh it's very lovely, Staci. I love the shape and the quaker design. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful ornament. You have done a great job~
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty finish. You made the bell shape so perfectly symmetric. I envy that talent.
ReplyDeleteBlogger ate my comment!! How could it?? LOL I was saying it is so original in shape, great work, Staci!
ReplyDeleteStaci,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I like the floss color that you used.
Gorgeously done Staci :o)
ReplyDeletePerfect choice, as always!
Wonderful finishing job! I have a renewed interest in that pattern now!
ReplyDeleteit's a beautiful finish!I love the shape from your ornament!
ReplyDeleteI loved it when I saw the "sneak preview", and it's gorgeous still!!! You may not sew, but you can certainly sew...LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done it looks lovely and no-one would guess you didnt think you could sew.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty ornament, fantastic finishing :)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that those with the least confidence always turn out such gorgeous pieces???? This piece is absolutely adorable, and I, too, love the shape! So unique.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Staci, and perfect for Edgar. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful !!
ReplyDeleteYour finishing is gorgeous! An elegant ornament that Edgar must love!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornament for Edgar! I bet he loves it.
ReplyDeleteFor someone that doesn't sew! It's easy to push a pedal, it's not so easy to sew stitch by stitch by hand! lol I'm with you there Staci, I can't sew a lick on the machine either but it looks like I'm going to have to learn, I just won a simple to sew "pillow book" in a giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteYour Quaker Christmas Tree ornament is absolutely gorgeous! You did an excellent job as always, Edgar is very lucky indeed!
That ornament looks just like Edgar, doesn't it? What a wonderful project! Great job.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteEdgar is very lucky!
Best regards
What a pretty Quaker ornament! And the pictures are so beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice Quaker ornament. Now I need to go check out my 2002 JCS Ornament Magazine. Collards is one of my favorite colors, too.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly did work out! Who says you can't sew? It's beautiful both in the stitching and finishing.
ReplyDeleteStaci, I love the design and the finish. Great job-as always!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great ornament, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI don't sew, too and everything I do is by hand - but I think the final result is good.
