Aurifil Christmas Ornament

225 Comments / Embroidery / June 22, 2013

Hello and welcome to my turn on the Aurifil Christmas Ornament blog hop!

Aurifil blog hop logo #2

Sherri Falls is the genius behind our cute little ornament design and she has done all the work preparing the. pdf patterns for all of you.  (Thank you for all of your hard work Sherri!)  I had great fun stitching my ornament and I love Sherri’s simple construction method — it really makes these ornaments go together quickly.  For my ornament,  I chose to do Christmas stockings waiting to be filled by Santa.

I also played around just a bit with Sherri’s basic ornament design. I added mini ric rac around the outside of the inner circle.  I really wanted to put ric rac or piping around the outside of the ornament too, but I just didn’t have time. If only my sewing machine were set up in BigDaddy’s hospital room!

Have fun stitching!
XOXO,
Anna

    Oh, Sherri! I love your cute little ornament! I love doing embroidery anyway, but how cute is that! Can’t wait to make some of these! Cute on the tree, cute on packages! Thank you!

    Your ornament is so cute. I’m going to make these for my grandchildren for next year. I paged down and read your post before this one. I hand pieced stars like these last year. I made a small wall hanging “Seven Sister’s” style. I didn’t even notice your not spacing your fussy cut pieces every other one. It’s is definitely not noticeable (unless you are looking for it :)

    Really fun and sweet ornament! Can’t believe we only have 6 weeks before it’s Christmas again. This year went by in a blink, though a lot has happened.

    LOVE THE RICK RACK! That really adds a lot of pizzaz without alot of work. Thanks for your design!

  13. Jen

    cute cute!! Need to check out the original ornament. Wish I had time to stitch them up for family this year. Maybe next year…

    So cute Anna. Glad things are slowly getting better for BigDaddy. I know the quilt on the bed helps but most of all all the loving attention must inspire him everyday. Hugs around!

  16. Lesley

    That is so pretty Anna and such a great design from Sherri :o) Looks like a perfect little project for stitching in the hospital too.

    I enjoy following your blog, I just do not comment much. Today I had to it is a great pattern. I like your color choices. Previously it has not registered with me you had a Bean. That is my most used nickname! I just realized 6 weeks until Christmas. This project is manageable by then, thanks!!

    May I just tell you how much I LOVE your ornament?! In fact, both this ornament and your May Pole block made me squeal aloud when I saw them….you’re a wonderful designer who hits me where I live. Thank you! Have a wonderful evening.

  64. Grace

    This is so cute! I love it, and I am making one (or two or three) right away! Thank you for sharing this great project!

  67. Stephanie in MI

    I love this! It’s one of my favorites so far. This and the bird. Well done, Anna! Your ric rac addition really rocks it. How do you do it???? Amazing! No wonder you are a designer for Aurifil!

  70. molly

    I looked at all three and have come to the conclusion that you, Anna dear, are an over achiever! Yours is my favourite, hands down…..Hope Big Daddy is improving.

  78. Audrey

    What a delightful ornament! I love the polka dot background and the addition of the rick rack. I will be making this one as soon as I can.

  79. MarciaW

    This is a beautiful embroidery for Christmas ornaments. Thanks for taking time to do this, and blog about it too.

  85. Clara Chandler

    Love that deep red in the ornament!! And the ric-rac was a good extra. So sorry to hear of BigDaddy’s heart event. Hoping for the best, quick recovery.

    Thanks for participating in the blog.

  88. Jane B

    Oh this ornament is beautiful! It reminds me of our stockings hung up every year. Thanks for the great pattern.

  95. Christi P.

    This is definitely my favorite so far. I have two married children with one child each and this will be perfect for their homeade ornament I do for them each year. The funny thing is that my daughter-in-laws name is Sam! I love it!! Thank you for sharing!!

    Oh, this is going to be a fun hop! Just the thing that I need to “jump start” my holiday gifting list.
    Thanks for the inspiration!!

    Very cute ornament. We have a lot of friends with new babies so that would be the perfect ornament for the new family.

  110. Jamie

    I like your pattern. I have really enjoyed all the recent post also as I read back on your blog. I am not a knitter, but the Halloween socks photos were really creative and the socks looked great.

  112. Jody

    It’s the sweetest thing EVER! Thanks for sharing your pattern. We have a Christmas Baby due on Dec. 24th. It would be fun to stitch her/him this cute ornament. I’ll leave the name til last.

  114. Robin Brown

    Its been so long, I bet you might think I’d dropped off the edge of the world. I have just read all the way back on your blog. I’m glad your Dad is recovering and I love the picture of that lady with him that kinda looks like you. What a treat! Your socks are cuties too. Have to have something to keep yourself busy in the hospital. Been there. Sure do miss you. I’m kind of stuck not unloading boxes although I’ve had alot of work done on the condo. Boxes have memories, sometimes good, sometimes sad. I’m going to Seattle for holidays to have fun – too quiet around here. Positive thinking and prayers for you and yours. Hope things get back to your crazy self soon and your Dad feels good. Big hugs, Robin

    TOO CUTE, I just downloaded the pattern and I am going to make one for each mini family of my big family

  133. Martha Simpson

    Anna, I will make this one in honor of my three grandchildren, 6, 5, and 2. They will love! We work hard to spend time with the two families together at Christmas. I think our days are numbered in this opportunity, so Granny and Pop-Pop are making it happen!

  138. Sherry

    I love using Aurifil thread and I want to thank you for sharing your sweet ornament. I have started working on the first three ornaments and will start the new ones soon.

  141. Barb Colvin

    We never had a fireplace to hang our stockings from when we were young. We hung them from doorknobs and cupboard pulls, but they were always full of lots of goodies come Christmas morning. Yes, there was always an orange in the toe! Thanks, Anna.

  151. Peggy

    So cute! I’m going to make one for my son & daughter-in-law, and also include their puppy’s name!! THank you for sharing!

  153. Mary

    Your ornament is very, very cute! I am definitely making one with the names of my three kids. Thanks for sharing.

  157. Raina

    so cute…and I love the little stars in the post below. I am still trying to decide if I am putting a tree up this year…..maybe as December is ushered in, the christmas bug will hit.

  159. Paula in Oh

    Your stocking ornament is adorable! So glad to hear that BigDaddy is making progress. Thinking of you thru the holidays.

    I would love to find some Aurifil thread in my Xmas stocking, but it won’t happen unless I buy it myself! This is a pretty design–thank you!

    Love your stockings, wish I didn’t have so many things to do right now as I would love to start stitching them. Thank you and Aurifil for the blog hop.
