canvas by Shelley Tribbey
Ceal Derickson came up with this idea for using Christmas ornaments in a different way, and we thought it was such a good idea that we stitched the above model for the shop. Now that Christmas is over and her relatives have received their gifts we can post this and let the cat out of the "bag".
Ceal finished these bottle bags herself - and it is an easy, quick, and inexpensive way to use a needlepoint ornament. The bags can be purchased from various stores that sell wine or gift items (this velvet one is from BevMo) and most of them sell for under $10.00. After blocking the ornament, simply cut it out leaving 3-4 rows of canvas around the finished needlepoint. Then baste it on the bag and glue trim around the edges over the raw canvas.
Fini! (Except, of course, for the bottle of wine you might want to include in your gift).
