Garnishes

I decided I wanted to make some hand made "garnishes" for my Christmas presents this year. All I did was free hand cut some circles and some batting, stack them on top of each other and do some free motion quilting on them. I added some french knots with DMC perle cotton in varigated colors.

I added some leaves, also done the same way. It was a great way to use up small pieces of batthing and scraps.

I will show you how they look on the packages once they are wrapped....but first I actually need to finish making them!
