Today we're making ornament blocks!
This is a super simple block, but the embroidered stars and the whipped blanket stitch around the red stripe make it extra special. I love how the whipped blanket stitch resembles candy striping!
If you need more help with the whipped blanket stitch, you can find a lot of pictures and short tutorial videos online by searching "whipped blanket stitch."
Here's the ornament block I made for my traditional version of the pillow. The red/white whipped blanket stitch really stands out on this block! I think this may be my new favorite embroidery stitch—maximum output for minimum input!
That's it for today! I'll see you back here on Wednesday for Day 9 and our last little block. Can't wait!
