There’s a certain kind of Christmas nostalgia that sneaks up on you—the soft glow of tree lights, the clink of hard candy in a glass dish, and the feeling of being tucked safely inside while the world turns quiet outside your window. This little Ornament Trio is part of my Hard Candy Christmas Collection, stitched straight from those memories. Each block feels like its own tiny moment: playful, sweet, and made to bring a little handmade warmth to your holiday season.
These 3 ornament designs are simple, charming, and deeply giftable—quick makes you can sew in an evening, hang on your tree, tie onto presents, or tuck into stockings. Whether you keep them traditional or go scrappy, they carry that cozy, old-movie kind of Christmas magic.

Design Features
• Three classic mini quilt blocks: Pinwheel, Sawtooth, and Bowtie
• Fully stuffed for a soft, pillowy ornament look
• Simple hanging loop included in the construction
• Backed with a single fabric square for a tidy finish
• Works beautifully in solids, scraps, or hand-dyed fabrics
• Perfect for gift tags, stocking stuffers, garlands, and tree décor
Construction & Techniques
• ¼″ seam allowance throughout
• 8-at-a-time and 4-at-a-time HST construction
• Straightforward layout and piecing
• Turning and stuffing method for the finished ornament
• Loop installation included in the seam for a polished look
• No quilting required (these are soft ornaments, not quilted pieces)
Materials & Specs
Finished Size: Each ornament measures 5″ finished before turning and stuffing
All Exshaw Quilts patterns assume 42″ usable WOF and ¼″ seam allowance
Materials Needed:
• Small cuts of two contrasting fabrics (¼ yard of each is plenty)
• Backing: ¼ yard or scraps
• Fiber fill, batting scraps, or leftover trimmings
• Ribbon or baler’s twine for hanging loops
• Basic sewing tools
Sometimes the smallest projects are the ones that slow you down in the best way. These tiny blocks are quick, sweet, and meditative to sew—little pauses in the season where your hands get to do something comforting and familiar.
All sales are final. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out—I want you to feel confident in your purchase.
Thank you so much for supporting my work. It means the world to me that something I designed might become part of your holiday traditions.
With warmth,
Kim
