I decided I wanted to make some hand made "garnishes" for my Christmas presents this year. All I did was free hand cut some circles and some batting, stack them on top of each other and do some free motion quilting on them. I added some french knots with DMC perle cotton in varigated colors.
I added some leaves, also done the same way. It was a great way to use up small pieces of batthing and scraps.
At first I thought I would put some buttons on but I decided I didn't like how they looked. I found these at Joanne's, only $2.29 a pack and you get a ton in some great colors.
Love that hot green!
I also am itching to get to this fabric....but I have some presents to make for now.
I discovered this show on the Planet Green Channel called "The Fabulous Beekman Boys".
It is a hilarious show about two guys from New York City who buy a farm in upstate New York and raise goats. They have a holiday show on this Wednesday that is worth checking out. To find out what time it airs where you live go here
