Julie's Christmas mitten

My friend Julie in San Diego makes ornaments each year for her friends. When she was here in July, she had me do some sewing for her, so I knew what the ornys would be this time, but not exactly what mine would look like. It's a very cute little mitten made from Warm & Natural quilt batting and decorated with velvet ribbon, old buttons and a bit of tatting. Love all the greens. Thanks, Julie!

Many of the blogs I follow had Christmas projects made with Warm & Natural. It really lends itself to a vintage look and the edges don't need hemming. I have a big bundle of it in a tub someplace and think I'll make some things during the year so that I'm much more prepared for Christmas 2012 than I was for 2011.
