Good morning! I posted this on Facebook last night and have received some great pieces of feedback. A lil’ crowd-sourced crafting, if you will! I’m hoping for a bit more here, too! Here’s the original post:
Ok, crafty pals (and non-crafty pals!), I need your thoughts. I’m excited to be part of an ornament showcase next month, in addition to the Detroit Urban Craft Fair!, and I’m contributing quilted/patchwork ornaments. AAAAND, they might make an appearnce in some new kits I’m working on called Lishkits. I made a prototype tonight. I have tons of scraps, so the center of a Lincoln Log block makes sense. This is top-stitched, stiched in the ditch, and has a ribbon hanger. (I tried a grommet, but it was too much.) There’s currently no batting or stuffing.
I NEED YOUR THOUGHTS! Tell me what you think, please!
So there’s that 
The biggest consensus so far is that the ornament should be hung from the corner, have some batting added, and to experiment with prints/solids. I couldn’t agree more!
Any other thoughts out there, crafty folks? Send ‘em my way!
I think someone posted on Facebook the suggestion to hand-stitch it instead of machine stitch; you can get some of the same effect if you use longer machine stitches. I love the idea of using little scraps!
Thanks!
Ooh, I like the corner hang idea, too.
Just a thought, you could participate in my friend Cindy’s Ornament exchange!
