ornament stitching clubs for making felt christmas decorations

Who's ready for an all-new Wild Olive Stitching Club for Christmas?!? How about TWO stitching clubs? And made with felt? Well, get ready, but it's coming on Christmas and time to make some decorations for your tree.

This is definitely different from the stitching clubs I usually do, but it's not too far off. If you've been around my work for a while, or you've poked around in my shop, you may have seen these felt ornaments:



This set of nine ornament designs has been one of the most popular items I've ever made. And I wanted to make more right away, but somehow six years passed. This year, after someone asking when more would come, I decided not to wait any longer, but to make the ornaments into a club so you can stitch them little by little leading up to December.

I also opted to make two clubs with eight ornaments in each. Why eight? Well, first, eight weeks of ornaments means finishing by December 1st. And two sets of eight makes sixteen, plus the nine from my first set makes 25, and that's perfect if you want to use these to make an Advent calendar!




Each club has different designs (and all are unique from the first ornament set), but they all have the same general style so they go together. I also used separate color palettes for each, but there's also some overlap.

The ornaments use layered felt pieces and embroidery to create slightly puffy decorations with a little bit of dimension.

Ready to hear what these clubs are all about?




Wild Olive's Christmas Ornament Stitching Club

This club has fun and happy icons of Christmas! The designs are a caroler, tree, nutcracker, candy cane, decorated house, gingerbread man, sleigh, and a gift.

When you sign up, you'll receive a supply list so you can get ready to start. On the first day of the club (October 8!), you'll get basic instructions for making the ornaments, along with the first pattern. Then, each Tuesday until November 26, 2019, you'll receive an email with the latest pattern. As with all my clubs, you'll also get to read some silliness from me too!

The cost of the entire club is just $5.00. (Remember, you're getting the patterns, but you'll need to buy all the supplies!)

Wild Olive's Nativity Ornament Stitching Club

This club is all about the very first Christmas! The designs are Jesus in a manger, Mary, Joseph, an angel, a donkey, sheep, a shepherd, and three wise men.

When you sign up, you'll receive a supply list so you can get ready to start. On the first day of the club (October 10!), you'll get basic instructions for making the ornaments, along with the first pattern. Then, each Thursday until November 28, 2019, you'll receive an email with the latest pattern. The emails will tell the story of Christmas, based on Scripture and with some my own commentary.

The cost of the entire club is just $5.00. (Again, this is for digital patterns only.)
