I have been working on these little ivory wool ornaments for a bit. They are little harder two work than the felted wool because the wool is just a smidge less thick and dense. It is harder to keep the stitches from showing on the back. I did several lines of chain stitch on this little tree - one each in variegated pink, green and yellow. I also did blanket stitch all the way around in ivory thread. I added a little hanger and added to my god child's Christmas card. It cost me $1.07 over a regular stamp to mail it off. So these are not a viable option for little gifts for friends and family that I can send in my cards. It is good to know so I will see if I can invent some other way to use the little triangles I have cut out before I add any more stitching. I started one with little snowflakes using variegated blue thread. I will do some brainstorming over the holidays and see what I can come up with. Therese
