FSL Christmas ball ornaments.
The ornaments are actually 2.5 x 2.5. I am not sure why. The properties say 3.94 x 3.94.Oh well!!
These dates remind me of my granddaughters. New baby girl due in December!
The original design is for a single ornament, because I wanted to put the date and name on each side, I will have to "fuse" them together when I know new baby's name. Any suggestion for putting them together?
Embroidery Library had the designs in 2009 and I wanted to add my own touches. What do you think?

6803Bonnie, these look great - how about getting some felt the same color and just gluing a strip behind the name portion of the ornament? Just a thought. Whatever you end up doing - let us know and also submitt it to EL for the Stitchers Showcase.

Pardon my ignorance but what is EL ?
Thank you for your comment, I had not thought about using the felt in that way!
hugs, Bonnie

Carolyn, thank you! I will have to do a blue one too! My grandson was born in 2007 too! I did them to remind me of the gifts God has given to my family.
In 2007 God chose my 1 granddaughter and grandson. I want to keep the memory for a while. It seems to comfort my daughter Sarah and her husband Coty.
Hugs, Bonnie
360641What a great way to personalize your tree. Neat idea to use for a Christmas party. Every guest gets one when they go home.

Thanks 02kar! I hadn't given a thought to party favors, but yes, this would be just fine.
Hugs, Bonnie
169064Like how you customized them. They are going to look pretty hanging on your Christmas tree. I probably would use the matching thread and do a zig-zag around the edges or hand stitch what ever looked the best or you could fuse them with two sided interfacing but not sure if that would show through.
