Posted - Dec 02 2014 : 08:35:24 AM OKAY....Girls, this years' ornaments will all be made with a spool. Up for this challenge...I hope so.....
Each ornament for each month will include a spool (as in a spool of thread). It can be the main part of the ornament or it can be part of the ornament. Google spool ornaments and see what pops up. This will be different and challenging and fun to make and create for 2015.
Spools can be found at estate sales, craft stores, sewing drawers, thrift stores....just be looking around
The January theme will be either a snowflake or red bird. Include a hanger to it so it can be hung Do your best work and have fun!!!!!!

Posted - Feb 03 2015 : 12:15:20 PM Rita, thank you so much for the compliment. I had so much fun making yours. I have actually finished the Feb. one and am looking for ideas for the next one!
I know I emailed you privately about yours to me. Ladies, it was gorgeous.....beautiful hand-stitched red bird on a spool with greenery. Also, a lovely quilled card. Thanks again, Rita.
Hugs, Portia
Wishing for the country life! |

Posted - Jan 29 2015 : 10:39:12 AM Grrrrr - Beth - My ornaments might be going out a little late. My three year old and 18 month old decided to put the one I was working on in the DOG"S WATER!!!!!! Sooooooo I need to make another! But my parents are supposed to be here tomorrow. My goal is to have it mailed on Saturday, but it may not be mailed until Monday. I am so sorry!!!!

Posted - Jan 27 2015 : 05:04:29 AM Hi Shannon, I would think so. The ones I am using are old thread spools. I am sure yours will be fine. Smiles

Posted - Jan 16 2015 : 07:47:51 AM I'm not sure, but think there will be different partner every month, since the same people do not always sign up every month. Beth will let us know.

Posted - Jan 16 2015 : 07:38:05 AM Are these our partners for the year or so we get new each month? Just curious. Mine is ready to go. Hoping to get to the post office today. I have an idea for the angel, too. Will probably work on her this weekend. This has been a great challenge!!
