Where to Find Free Patterns, Kits, and Support on The Ornament Girl

Updated

The Ornament Girl is a site for no-sew quilted ornament patterns, complete ornament kits, and a monthly ornament club. If you want to start without buying anything, the fastest route is the free Basic Star Ornament Workshop, which the site recommends for beginners. From there you can browse published quilted ornament patterns, buy complete kits, join the Kit of the Month Club, or contact the site owner with questions.

Start Here If You're New: The Free Workshop

The site explicitly recommends the FREE Basic Star Ornament Workshop for anyone who is brand new. It is the intended entry point before you buy patterns or kits.

What you get from it:

  • A guided introduction to the no-sew quilted ornament method
  • A finished basic star ornament as the outcome
  • A way to test whether you enjoy the craft before spending money

There is also a free pattern offer alongside the workshop, so you can try a second project at no cost.

Expected result: after the workshop, you should be able to complete a basic ornament and understand the folding and pinning approach well enough to follow a paid pattern.

Browse All Quilted Ornament Patterns

The site links to its full catalog of Quilted Ornament Patterns. According to the site, the patterns are "foolproof & totally step-by-step," and reviews are available on the same page.

Use this section when you:

  • Already know the basic technique and want new designs
  • Prefer to supply your own fabric, pins, and foam shapes
  • Want to compare several designs before committing to a kit

The site's testimonials specifically praise the written directions and illustrations, including from a retired English teacher who had prior experience with quilting, embroidery, and garment sewing. That is a useful signal if clear written instructions matter more to you than video.

Complete Ornament Kits vs. Patterns

Option What it is Best for
Quilted Ornament Patterns Instructions/designs you follow Crafters who already have supplies
Complete Ornament Kits Pattern plus the materials needed Beginners or anyone avoiding supply shopping
Kit of the Month Club A new ornament project delivered monthly People who want a steady stream of projects

The distinction matters: a pattern assumes you have or will buy your own materials, while a complete kit bundles what you need for that specific ornament. If you are unsure about fabric types, pin sizes, or foam shapes, a kit removes those decisions.

Join the Kit of the Month Club

The Ornament Girls Kit of the Month Club is described as making "a new ornament every month." It sits alongside the patterns and kits as one of the three main offerings on the site.

Choose the club if you want:

  • A recurring project rather than one-off purchases
  • The convenience of a kit arriving on a schedule
  • A structured way to build skills month over month

If you only want to try the craft once, a single pattern or kit is the lower-commitment path.

Supplies and Getting Help

Beyond patterns and kits, the site has an Ornament Supplies section for the materials used in these projects.

For questions, the site provides a contact option and asks visitors to reach out directly. There is also a Billing & Shipping page if your question is about an order rather than the craft itself.

Quick routing:

  • Craft or pattern question → contact the site owner
  • Order, billing, or shipping question → Billing & Shipping page
  • Want background on the site and its founder → the "about" link referenced on the homepage

A Practical First Session

If you want to decide in one sitting whether this hobby is for you:

  1. Take the free Basic Star Ornament Workshop.
  2. Complete one ornament using the no-sew method.
  3. If you enjoyed it, browse the quilted ornament patterns and pick one design.
  4. If supply shopping is the part you dread, order a complete kit instead.
  5. If you want ongoing projects, join the Kit of the Month Club.

Common sticking point: the site's method is no-sew, so don't expect to need a machine. The skills involved are folding, layering, and pinning fabric — the free workshop is where you confirm that suits you before buying anything.
