Name of Person: Roberta Menicucci

Tri-colored star patch work quilted ornaments. Can customize to fit any Holiday or Season; not just Christmas ornaments. Hand-sewn and attached with beautiful ribbon for hanging or displaying. Can decorate with faux-pearl accents too.

The pinecone shaped ornaments are made with fabric and ribbon and are unique. Not your ordinary ornament; these ornaments bring a touch of the outdoors inside and make any Christmas tree unique and a topic of conversation.

These ornaments were displayed during the 2010 Holiday Season, at the Wildcat's Den Restaurant, on the owner's Christmas tree. There was an overwhelming demand for them; so I have decided to take Jake LaFore on as an apprentice and offer these fabulous works of art to the public.

Ms. Menicucci has been creating these works of art since 1982 and is just now making them available to the general public. She usually gives them as gifts to her immediate family and friends or offers them as gifts for weddings, showers, birthdays and as Holiday gifts.

These rare hand-sewn ornaments can be found at some arts and crafts fairs; but Ms. Menicucci  believes that she has taken them to an elevated artistic level and because of her extensive years as a quilter, she has added her own unique way of creating them and she adds her own signature touches to every ornament. **All pieces are exclusive to available fabric; so most are one-of-a-kind pieces.

Mr. LaFore and Ms. Menicucci have been long-time friends and he is the proud owner of many of Ms. Menicuci's hand made ornaments and has displayed them on his personal Christmas trees for over a decade, proof that if you take proper care of these ornaments, they will last for season after season.

Ms. Menicucci is a master quilter and also makes hand-sewn quilts and wall hangings. These are exceptional works of art and have to be seen to be appreciated.

Both ornaments and wall hangings will be on display at the Wildcat's Den Restaurant, in Questa, NM by February 2011. Ornaments can be purchased individually or by the half-dozen and we can ship anywhere. Prices available by request. 

Hope you like the photos. However, these ornaments really have to be seen and handled to be appreciated.
