just a few of my angel ornaments

"eyes" loves how this is shaping up....looks like more bees have arrived to help us out!! Nice Twin size now, we're hoping for a California King!!

"eyes"

This little gal, with antlers, was something I made a few years ago. She has become one of the favorite things in our house, but definitely would not work on a tree.

Happy Holidays to Everyone!!

Shirley

A wall decoration I made one year. Sorry, it is hanging up there pretty high as our family room is sunken and I hung him out of reach of the little ones.

Shirley those are both just toooooooo cute!! They're gonna be great on our Quilt!

"eyes"

Shirley, both of them are just too cute, I really love the candy cane ;~P

Scooterbug, I have cloth candy canes all over the house. I just got into the swing of sewing Christmas ornaments one year and went crazy. I'm glad you all like them.

Here's a Teddy for the tree :)

Some of our ornaments are decidedly non-traditional and not Christmasy. Here's a silly martian gal I made a few years ago:

This one which Howie made is more traditional!

Cool stuff everyone. This should be SOME patchwork tree.

Oh how neat! Save room for mine please, tree should be up this weekend, and I have a borrowed camera to use, YaY!

violabird, DW has been looking for you. Did you get DRU calender?Please say BOO at least.

Hey Frank, her letter's in the mail. I was down with a bug so didn't get to see my mail till I went back to work the other day. So Sorry! And of course I love that Calendar!
Hope to have pics of my Shadow soon!

I hope you have room for my little home made Chritmas Angel, too. Hope we can get our tree up soon.
What a great idea for sharing!

We got room at the inn for the whole garden!! These are great.........keep 'em coming little bees!!

"eyes"

Thanks for the pics to add to the quilt, these ornaments are all just too cute!

Here's mine...a simple wreath I made. the fruit picks up the
light and shimmers. I actually added some painted gold pine cones to it this morning but I haven't taken a pic yet.
This is fun...
Cheers,
Carol

Happenstance, it is great to see all the pictures in one place. Thanks.

This is one of my favorite Christmas decorations. I love diners and this makes me want to stop in for a cup of coffee.

We need more patches to fill in the front, here's a peek at the back

ginlyn, that is an awesome vintage set.......love it, mind if I join you?

"eyes"

Hey Ginlyn...we have a diner here that looks all most like this one! It has a 50's decor, and very good hamburgers and milkshakes!! Jo

Here's another one. A friend got this for me a few years ago it always has a place on our tree.

I got this one from my secret Santa this week.

Time to dig deep for those favorite ornaments....or pets or grandkids, sharpen you needles and get stitchin' !!

ok one more.

Nope, I didn't make this.
This is something that I had won at a Christmas Chinese gift exchange several years ago.

you want more angels? how about my angel teddy bears.
The rocker that they are in, belonged to my late mother-in-law which she had when she was a child. I have never repainted it or anything. I do dust it once in awhile tho.

My angels look down upon me while I'm in the kitchen

Guess I'm posting too many here.
CD snowman that I quick put together a few days ago.
Ok, this will be the last one. For tonight anyway. Off to a double birthday party.

more, more, more!!!!

"eyes"

My tree fits in a pizza box when I take it down.. but it looks good to me..lol..

Your tree is cool, but that fireplace should be out here in Iowa!! Very pretty.

Hi Brugie, that's a fold up tree.. here are a few angels.. the dust from the repairs we have been making to the ceilings is settling on them..

One more angel photo.. with dust too, sorry about the dust..lol.

I had forgotten about the kissing angels. I made a pair of them many years ago when I taught ceramics. I wonder where they went? Oh well. I love the brass angels too. Great pictures everyone!!

This is such a neat idea! I'm really enjoying all the ornaments and conversation. Can't wait to see the finished product! Are you actually going to make it into a quilt? Or just a virtual one?

My helper....lol.
