Here is one of the angel ornaments that Heather V made for me.

One last picture from me. This is my angel bear that my oldest daughter made for me a few years ago. She is a dusty little girl because I never put her away. I almost forgot why I posted here...I just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their Christmas. I've really enjoyed seeing this thread with all the beautiful pictures. Merry Christmas to you all.

These are all so neat! I just love the quilt with all of them...What a neat memory-maker. :)

Hey, come on out and play with Frosty! My Snowman music box from Carol7.......the kids just love this guy......love to watch the skaters!

Homespun Santa.......loves to throw that little tree around.

"eyes"

Everyone has done such a great job -- thank you Candy for all your talent and effort in "stitching it" together!

Oh, 'eyes' I love that little snowman music box. That is adorable.
One of my great pashions is collecting angels and music boxes.
Enjoying looking at everyone's Christmas pictures and what a wonderful job on the patchwork quilt.

Oldies but goodies!

Here's one of the ribbon birds I made last evening.

Lizh, that is beautiful. Would love to know how to do that.

Very beautiful, could I order 6 for my tree?


"eyes"

Hey, Lizh! You taking orders for those ribbon birds for next year? I'd pay for several...

JustMeLisa... I LOVE Bugs as Carmen Miranda! Watch out I don't sneak down south and stael him, LOL.

Love the ribbon bird ornament lizh! Do you have directions that you could share with us, I'd like to use a couple for package decorations?

lizh,
The ribbon bird ...we need instructions pleeessseeee! That is so pretty.

I haven't taken any pictures of my things this year. Time, is what I need for Christmas....I can't seem to find any. lol

Donna

a close up of my tree, I bought these ornaments in memory of my father last year his favorite bird was the cardinal

I like to put the cards i get from friends and relatives on my tree

Around the house

Come visit and I will show you in person how to make the birds. It would be difficult to tell you how. Darius, next time you come, I'll show you how, then maybe between the two of us, we can write up instructions.
After the holidays I can try to take pictures while making one.
I have looked on goggle. Found origami birds, but none like this. Maybe someone will have better luck.

Wonderful job everyone! Sure wish everyone had taken part here, tho...

If you need a skinny piece, here's another Santa--but do make sure everyone else is in first :)

Does this mean I'm too late?
O well I wanna add one anyways.

There is always room at the inn for more favorites.

Liz, could you have Darius or someone else with a camera look over your shoulder and take pictures of the various steps? Taken pictures from that perspective would be really helpful since those viewing the pictures would have your perspective and not have to figure out left and right.

That is a good idea gardenwife. I remember my friend that taught me how to crochet was left handed. and it does make it more difficult,
On another thread, yardbird said she found the pattern. Hope she will let us know where.

gw... I'll be glad to work with lizh to get both photos and written instructions the next time I go up there. (May not be until after the snow season, though.)

Yes, more, more.........if you haven't added your's yet , please do......we want everyone........God bless us all!

I found the pattern on icandream.com

Wow, how'd I miss this quilt idea??? Well here are mine, I made these flowers from wired ribbon quite a few years ago, don't ask me how as sewing never was my area of expertise, but they came out pretty good.
All the ideas above are wonderful, what a quilt!

Bookmarked that one yardbird, thanks so much. Something to fill the long hours of winter with color...lots of color.

"eyes"

Thanks yardbard. That is just how I make them.

Wow...They make it look so easy! Well, ribbon's cheap and there are so many neat things you could do with color. They'd be so pretty on a wedding table, done in white.

Whoo-Hooo...TNX yardbird (-:

Thanks so much for the link yardbird, this is a project that could work all year long. Spring birds, summer birds, fall birds......lotsa birds.

I think I might add some of these to my "odd" tree when it turns into an Easter egg tree this spring.
