This fabric is another one of Cathe Holden's Flea Market lines from Moda......I absolutely love it and you can really do so much with it......as you can see I have pieced some of it and started to do some fun embroidery stitches to add a little dimension........at the end I have a bigger piece I have been working on and it has more details than when I started the one above.............
A few posts back I did pom poms and thought I might add one to a couple of the ornaments.....below shows the difference when you trim them up....I do love the longer one ( green) on packages but the blue one looks better on the ornaments.....you can even trim it smaller than I did......just depends on the look and size you want.......
few more felt ornaments below.......
Here are a few photos of what all I have done so far on the needlepoint fabric with embroidery stitches and a little velvet applique and some trim so far....
I think that is enough.........I just love this fabric and so excited when it came out.....when I started to do all the embroidery on this piece my thoughts were to make some more pear pin cushions........ but it would cut off a lot of the handiwork......... so I may just do some square even pin cushions to save as much as possible and not waste any.......we will see. It's been relaxing to just figure out what stitches to do.......
If anyone wants to add a comment I will be giving away a couple of ornaments for the giveaway this weekend......leave a comment starting today about if you have done online or walk in shopping this year...I will have a winner on monday morning........
Hope you all have had a great week.......... tomorrow I will have 2 gift wraps since today was just for adding a little something to the packages......HAPPY FRIDAY AND WEEKEND! STAY SAFE!
Cathe Holden’s fabrics are great but your creative additions are wonderful!

I have done alll my shopping online—a lot from stores in the area. Now I need to wrap! I have really enjoyed your wrapping ideas. Your packages are lovely.

Done some dash and go shopping for several friends that needed specific items but could not be exposed. It is like supermarket sweep type show. Go when you think no one will be at the shop , dash in and dash out. Trying to get people to buy from local shops so they can surviive. That material is glorious. Like a Della robin of colors🤩

I went to 1 store for Nike shoes and the rest online! I love the decorations in the malls but that will not happen this year! Your fabric is gorgeous!

I did a little walk in shopping -- like quick get what I need. I have had my one daughter get a couple of things online. Also have pulled items I purchased earlier -- months ago. Writing out checks will be the fall back!!!

I have done almost no shopping - I did walk-in shopping for our granddaughters’ ornament collections and other collections I have for them - then I did on-line for other presents. We aren’t doing the usual presents this year, so I didn’t have much to do.
