Burning the Midnight Oil
Description:
Two-for-One Opportunity - Lantern Design or 13 Ornaments!
The original lantern design was inspired by a quilt with similar log cabin bands and includes over thirty of Ann's unique composite patterns (21 are also laid fillings). The lanterns hang from elegant ribbons and red "mock" tassels hang from the bottom lantern in each row. Two elegant couching patterns give the "evening" background a candlelight glow.
The 3" round ornaments substitute Christmas green threads for the blue-violet shades in the lanterns. The red and gold threads are common to both materials lists. The ornaments are ideal small projects for a year long educational program for a stitch group or for fundraiser auctions or gift exchanges.
