Stitched Fruit Christmas Ornament

"I love to make many of the ornaments that hang on my tree. Often they have a sentimental theme or remind me of particular things. My family live in Portugal, and I visit every summer when there is an abundance of figs. So I decided to make a fig ornament for my tree this year. It is made from scrap velvet fabric for a luxurious feel and sparkles because of all the glass seed beads. Visit the site for the free pattern."
