I picked up a bronze Metallic Soft Twist Trim Cord, size 20 from Access Commodities for Silken Sonata by Jim Wurth. It’s a perfect color for the ornament.

After lacing the ornament to the Craftex, I made a loop from the cord and secured it to the liner. I lined up the cord along the edge and left 1.5″ to tuck in after the back was attached.

I didn’t want cord to show on the edge because the edge is stitched Smyrnas. I just wanted the split between the back and front to be covered. I’m definitely not a fan of ribbons and bows on ornaments. Size 20 cord is thin, but it’s exactly what I wanted.

I had a lovely piece of green fabric leftover from my Quilt Magic Poinsettia that I placed on magazine board. It’s thin and light. Love it!

Goal #1 for 2025 was to finish Silken Sonata by Jim Wurth into an ornament. I’m thrilled that’s done and that it turned out so well! The finished size is 3.75″.

Other goals are progressing. But I still don’t have the ability to heed my final goal of not getting more goals! More on that another time.
