LIVE: 12 Days of Stitchy Ornaments FINISHING TUTORIAL! - Stitchy Talk #12

[@erica_arndt]

I love how you finished the ornaments! Sew cute! 💕

[@marysewitsky4823]

Your designs are adorable

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

I can celebrate any holiday, any day. Stops anxiety for the rush factor. So, when we get together, we can celebrate whatever holiday we want to.... not confined by "Hallmark" holidays, on the calendar; or even when a President passed a "recognition" for a holiday. Helps when others in the extended family are determined to celebrate the holiday on "the day"! It certainly has relieved the stress factors!

[@diane19456]

The greenery looks like Mistletoe! Too cute!

[@debbulgrin589]

I am a big fan of Erica Arndt! She is fabulous. I have made her stockings and her rag quilt for christmas gifts. Working on the ornaments. You finished them adorably. Great job!!!

[@marilyncook1585]

A great demonstration for me as I will be using your easy way to frame small Christmas stitched ornaments. Thanks for your generous time to teach me the steps. Have a Merry Christmas with family and friends. A stitcher in Kentucky - Marilyn Cook

[@vickyharms2554]

Lovelyl finishing for the ornament. Congratulations to your niece. My son is a Horned Frog alumni. The December graduation is very nice. The campus is beautifully decorated for the holidays. I hope you have enough extra time to be able to walk around to see them.

[@paulashattuck5983]

I love the little tote to use when you are traveling.

[@lorriemcdonnell7027]

Kimberly, I don’t like It’s a Wonderful Life either, but give me all the true crime podcasts!! Great video, btw-the ornaments are adorable!

[@aeljot1]

Ornaments looks beautiful.

[@margm4]

Great video. Thanks Kimberly. I used to make the ornaments, but never thought of using poly fill. What a great idea! Mine are so skinny. You’re a breath of fresh air. Like you,I love true crime shows, but also love What a Wonderful Life…always made me cry at the end. 😊❤️🇦🇺

[@marymcclure2884]

Thank you so much Kimberly. I always burn my fingers, the thimbles are great ideas. And love the cute box and may use that for gift ideas. Definitely love using the charm squares. Looks so cute from both sides and the little poms. Thought they were pearl garland at first. That would work also but love how the poms made the back look so neat. You and FQS staff are amazing. Your my favorite show each week. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas. My cubby says hi to piggy. So cute🎄 🌻🌺☃️ Have a special time with Emma. We love you Kimberly.

[@2teddybearz]

I watch Erica as well as you Kimberly! Erica's bloopers are a hoot! She makes me laugh :)

[@janstewart9591]

I am a new x stitcher (81) and so glad you showed us how to finish our ornaments. I am ready to get started! Love your stitch shows.

[@wendykolodzinski9086]

Fully finished my set this past weekend. Put them all on a mini tree and gifted the whole thing to my dearest friend. (We was brought to tears!) Thx for the inspiration!

[@lizziedae91]

Sew cool that you teamed up with Erica! I love her channel and always watch her unbox the FQS subscription box.

[@rebeccasewing]

I would probably glue some felt on the back to cover up the raw look instead of wasting a charm square on these. I would also turn the knot on the butcher's twine tie so it is under the felt .

[@yvonneadrian734]

So exciting for Erica Arndt love these little ornaments ❤

[@SharonCarbine]

Very clever, Kimberly. Thank you!

[@tammybunge5615]

I have finished many round hoops and NEVER seen them finished like that!! Love how the back is automatically finished

[@robinselby1]

These are so stinking cute and believe this it not I haven’t stitched one ornament this year yet! What! I know! I have a bunch kitted but other things keep getting in my way! Like work 65 hours a week and no lunch! 😢🥺 now that Daddy’s gone and most of his siblings we only have 2 Christmases to attend! I host one for my children and Grandchildren and that’s for 32! We celebrate on New Year’s Eve and day so I get their full attention! 🤣 love this video and yes even if it’s January I will be making these ! Thanks Kimberly!

[@paulatullos4698]

Kimberly, I love all of your videos. You are so organized in everything you do and I wish I could be like you. You are amazing!😊

[@lisaverizzi5428]

I’m so glad you did this video. I love Erica’s patterns but was thinking that the Crosstitch ones were much bigger is ended up being.

[@deborahcrottylikerottie7684]

Our family always did Christmas on Christmas Eve for years and the tradition carried on with my husband and kids. Christmas Day was maybe one leftover gift and stocking! Love all you do.

[@bettywilliams3346]

I hate that missed the live show, our internet went out and I missed it. I can't wait to get my order so that I can get started. Kimberly you are so creative and an inspiration to us all. Thank you for all you have taught us.

[@susangenry6497]

I have my ornaments from the 70s, some I made, but I want to make these. And..let me say, off this subject, i have dmc, but i ran out of white, so i used blanc only a little, project is jingle all the way..but...blanc is not close to white, it looks like it, but I ran to my quilt store, got their Cosmos white..unreal difference, i was so pleased with Cosmos, smooth as silk. But CCW, Weeks, Cosmos, I favor over all my dmc..maybe dmc needs to name theirs, not just number.lol I want to order this project. Adorable

[@angelaadams4790]

Love the finished ornaments. ❤️. Kimberly, thank you for all you do for the cross stitch and quilting community!

[@terryanderson5789]

I have been watching Erica for many years, she is a joy to watch! So supportive Kimberly, I ❤ it! Very sweet patterns 🤭🌲

[@jeannettegodwin4268]

Thanks a bunch Kimberly for this video i watched it two times and ordered STUFF!! YOU and some other Floss tubers have hooked me on cross stitching again. I will quilt after the first of the year…i guess. Merry Christmas & Hugs

[@lauriemyers3]

Omg…I must make these! Lori’s Christmas minis would be cute as well!

[@michellestephens116]

I know I am a month or more behind but thank you for this brilliant finishing tutorial. I purchased the pdf pattern for these cute ornaments and will stitch them this year. Kimberly love your enthusiasm for all you do xx

[@BlueEyesBrittany]

Thanks for the tuto. Nice ideas to use cross stitch for Christmas decoration and add additional decorations for embellishments

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Thanks for this video! That's a great ornament size.

[@cynthiabaker2794]

I purchased Erica’s ornaments two days ago. I was so excited to see this video today! Thank you, Kimberly. ❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@978karen]

Thank you! So cute!!🎄🎄🎄

[@dianeginsbach2249]

Thank you so much for tjis finishing idea. I have a couple projects that I was going to finish off in hoops but haven't because instructions given didn't leave nice back, now I can complete thanks to you!

[@michellestephens2613]

Thank you for this great finishing tutorial of Erica's cute ornaments. No way I will be able to finish them in two weeks but who cares! Just going to buy the PDF pattern and look forward to more great things from Erica and you xx

[@michellemattenson1283]

I think we are twins! I love True Crime as well. Love your finishes and your humor. And tell your kids they will grow up to be weird as well, LOL

[@susanmorawski3337]

Thanks for showing me how to finish a project. I’ll be able to carry this info towards other projects.

[@jennifervillella5583]

Those are so adorable! Can't wait to make them!

[@margaretbaker623]

Adorable and do-able! Thank you! 😊⚘

[@lilitincher4973]

What a wonderful idea! I didn't find this video until after Christmas, so I will have to do this for 2022. Great gifts for next Christmas.

[@bgturman]

Great tutorial Kimberly!

[@jackiedamico8455]

Great tutorial… love the ornaments.. going to try it on the weekend. Thanks for all you do for FQS.

[@TheStarletStitcher]

Thank you thank you for ornament finishing idea with hoops. I need to check out the floral at craft stores, I’ve never used that before but I agree it looks so good with bows and ribbons to finish our projects.

[@marlenecollier8979]

Great finishing idea and tutorial! Thanks, Kimberly and FQS staff for finding such fun supplies to work with. This idea can easily be used for different sizes of projects. Happy Holidays!

[@dianemadison5955]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea on how to display Christmas ornaments. Merry Christmas!

[@reneeriley6629]

Thanks for sharing and easy way to finish in a hoop. I love how the back is finished in the process. Merry Christmas!

[@debbiepenalber1369]

So cute! Thank you for all you do! So glad I found Fat Quarter shop! Wishing you and your family and Staff a very Merry Christmas!

[@anaf.848]

I had so much fun watching today's video. I recently purchased Erica Arndt's pattern as a way to learn and get into cross stitching. Seeing it come all together as a finished ornament here was an inspiration. I can't wait to make mine!

[@thisiskatiebrown]

This was a wonderful tutorial! I loved seeing the moda fabric that was used for the backing. I struggle with picking finishing fabrics.

[@brendaweis9496]

Thank you Kimberly for this great tutorial!! I'm excited to try this type of finishing and how cool that it is small and easy to complete! You are so patient and I love the tips you give. I've got to get some rubber thimbles

[@velineball1920]

I'm almost finished with the Hope Little Sheep Virtue. They are sew cute!!

[@conniesteele7213]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I bought the tiny hoops years ago and I like your method better than others I have seen. I need to make some ornaments soon.

[@wendybradley8420]

I’ve ordered the book from Erica. Looking forward to making these.

[@carolscrafty]

Cute! Thanks for the tutorial. Went to FQS and bought this pattern, looks like they will stitch up fast. Merry Christmas to all of you.

[@mimidisher6375]

I love my halo go! Was great to use while I was stitching in between tests for my yearly cardiac checkup. 2 hour wait went by so quickly and was very relaxing.

[@nadiasews]

cute tutorial! Took a serious turn at the end that I wasn’t expecting lol… not a true crime fan, just too distressing to me… but know plenty of people who do like it

[@pchaplin8158]

Ms Kim another great tutorial. I love these.

[@gingermccafferty9572]

So Adorable! Thank you again for a great session. ALSO THANK YOU for the great Black Friday gifts in the black bag I received with my order! So much fun.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

[@rowiemurphy2429]

[@marysewitsky4823]

So proud of you conquering the hot glue gun. They can be very dangerous😉those pink finger things are awesome. Very cute ornaments. Great video. Merry Christmas to you and your staff and family

[@marysewitsky4823]

I don’t like It’s a wonderful life either

[@AKight_2019]

You can also find the pink silicone thimbles and dollar tree and comes in a four pack

[@tweakervt]

Can we see a closer up pic of the ornaments with the colors Kimberly used and or a list of colors she used in each one ? I have completed them in original colors but wanted to try some in Kimberly's colors. The house is hard to tell if its grey or green and what color is the tree with the house - white ? Thanks so much

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Debbie! The house is green and the tree is blue and grey.

[@karolsaager8694]

Good morning!!

[@heden1460]

That was fun. Merry Christmas.

[@dcwishy3701]

Will make these. Thank you!

[@wendyswanson6461]

Looks great

[@jennifertravnicek9774]

[@rosemarymcguire7648]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@judyh5052]

[@patimay3056]

I got my hoops at Michaels for about $1.35 or something close.

[@tweakervt]

Where are the silver stars from? and the pom poms size and where can I get them?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Debbie! I believe they are from Hobby Lobby.

[@barbaraanne2136]

Can you put a link for the website for the Home Alone movie tours? My hubby watches "Home Alone" all year around when he can't fine another movie to watch. My adult daughter does too. She talks about how all the rooms have a color theme and clothing matches too.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Barbara! Here is a link to the tour: onlocationtours.com/locations/home-alone-2-lost-in-new-york/

[@barbarajordan7636]

Really cute.

[@doragibson59]

Super cute 💕

[@madebydonnaq]

I love the floral and the ribbon that you use and the stars perfect where did you buy that

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Donna! Kimberly bought her stars from Hobby Lobby.

[@StitchingisElementary]

I have to laugh Kimberly, that It's A Wonderful Life scares you, but True Crime doesn't? lol!

[@lyndaphelps9468]

i couldnt find this on your blog

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Lynda! The colors used are available in this thread pack: bit.ly/31AntBJ

[@lisasievers9247]

Would have been nice to know how much trim is needed per ornament. Not all of us have the resources to “just buy the whole roll”.

[@EAWit8852]

Kimberly says she used 12”/ornament.

[@lisayantek8867]

Where can I buy the small fabric squares? TIA

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Lisa! You can buy them here: bit.ly/32XEsy6
