Holiday Tags

I haven't made many holiday projects this year, but one thing I did was make these little gift tags/ornaments.  I drew 2 small designs for thermofax screens - holly leaves and a pointsettia; printed them on red and green fabric, and then fused them to 2 1/2 inch squares of timtex, red on one side, green on the other.  After a bit of trimming, I satin stitched the edges and added some elastic cording.  A quick and easy project!

Catching Up

It's hard to believe it's been over a month since my last post.  I guess I've got lots of catching up to do!  Let's start with the results of the stamping in my previous post.  I turned these into gift tags that I used on some Christmas gifts.  My original intent was a tree ornament, but I decided they worked better as a gift tag.  I added an eyelet in one corner and ribbon for hanging or tying.  Each is 2-sided (opposite colors), fused to peltex and satin stitched on the edges.

While I'm sharing holiday projects, here's another - these actually did become tree ornamnents - and gifts for friends.

This was a project from Quilting Arts Gifts 2011 - Rag Ball Ornaments by Hannah Overman Koch.
