My ATC trade group met yesterday and this month we added a little gift exchange for those that wanted to participate. 7 of us did. I made these scarves (the cream is a linen blend) for the other ladies and I came home with some awesome presents. I have so many pictures to take and post!
These were so easy to make and they have such a wonderful Japanese vibe to them. I bought enough linen to make 6 more so that is on my to-do list this week:) I sewed all yesterday afternoon and had a wonderful time until I ran out of every lick of cream. white, and light grey thread that I own. I seriously have emptied 5 spools this last week with all the sewing that I have been doing. So I might have to make an emergency run to Joanne's after church for thread.

The simpleness of the ornament makes it more beautiful!
The scarves look wonderful too!
The ornaments are beautiful... I love simple! The scarves are gorgeous too... I love the fabrics you chose.
Here's a great tip on buying thread...the colours you use the most like white, beige black even navy blue buy the good quality cones. You can buy a cone holder thingy you set up beside your sewing machine that will help to use it with a home sewing machine. You'll have lots of thread for lots of projects! Cones are a bit pricey but if you compare it to all the little spools you buy it is a better deal in the end.
Now those ornaments are lovely! And those scarves...yummm!!
Your ornaments are delightful and love the scarves you made! I think it's great you have a group to participate in, sounds like lots of fun :)
Raesha, I am also doing crochet flowers for the ornament swap. They may be simple but they are beautiful! As are those scarves!
I totally thought it was a snowflake. Very cute!
Lovely scarves - very classy.
I think your ornaments are pretty and I also thought they were snowflakes! Hope you and yours have a very happy holiday season!
