This fall I have gone in a direction that is so not me
and I am having so much fun with it.
I'm usually a pretty precise, organized quilter
who uses bright and fun fabrics, for the most part.
This fall I've been playing with ribbons and other trims, sequins, beads,
yarns, and silk fabrics and have done a lot of hand work.
Now I have a pile of Baubles and I love them!
I found an online course taught by Isobel Moore
and started collecting things to make these fun little ornaments.
The ribbons and trims are stitched down,
then some fun machine stitching happens,
and then the hand work is done, sewing on
beads and sequins.
Isobel teaches how to make fun trim to use for hanging the baubles.
These are my favorites!
Icy blues and silvers with a little white thrown in for contrast.
I've made three sets and have one more set to embellish and finish.
These have kept my hands busy and really pushed my creative juices
in a different direction.
I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.
Happy Creating!

Those are definitely fun and colorful! Nice job.
so pretty and colorful
Interesting idea!! Those baubles are so pretty. I like having handwork too.
Beautiful I like the blue best too but the pink isn’t far behind . I’m going to make some for next year. Was the class in real time or was it recorded so you could tune in at your convenience?
Those look so pretty, Ramona, and all the hand detail is exquisite.
Isn't playing with sequins, beads, pretty trims, bits and bobs and embroidery the best fun. I love all your gorgeous baubles. Love the dance of all the colours and, like you, I think the silver, blue and white are my favourites, too...but then......! =)
They are just so fun to look at and check out all the trims you used. I think those blue are my favorite too, and I don't even decorate with anything blue!
Ramona, these are positively wonderful; I love them! I’m truly impressed with your creativity and color combinations. ❤️
