The inlaw ornaments are done! And to my satisfaction. I finally learned how to blind stitch like I had eyesight and how to attach trim so you couldn't see it! I probably started with the wrong ornament (the tree on the right). The store-bought trim (nearly an exact match to the trim in the magazine) had a preattached tassle. Made it hard to get it lined up properly. Finishing these ornaments took way longer than I thought it would but in the end, I come away with new skillz.
Now I have the ability to finish a huge bag of ornaments that are sewn and stuffed but need trim! If I could find time to attach that trim, my tree would really be something this year...

Anna, the ornaments are beautiful. I love them all.
Your ornaments are beautiful, Anna! Lucky inlaws!
Those look great, Anna. So what's your secret to attaching trim??? I made my own cording last night and tried to "whipstitch" it to an ornament. It was an unmitigated disaster.
*shifts uncomfortably as she thinks about her unfinished ornaments*
Gorgeous! I love those tree ones!
You did a fantastic job! I love I saw three ships - it's on my to stitch list.
Congratulations. They look fabulous.
GROAN. I'm so jealous of you. Honestly, I am green. Grinch Green. I just started stitching some ornaments for my family.
I could kick myself for not doing this in JULY :D
Your ornaments are awesome. They look great. The stitching & finishing are marvelous.
Your ornaments look great! I stitched the one on the right last year for a friend and never got around to ornamentifying it. Hope to do that this weekend but I can't imagine mine looking half as nice as yours. I also have been wanting to stitch "I saw three ships". After seeing yours I might start it this weekend.
