felt star

This little fella is from Stitched with Love by Mandy Shaw.



I used ordinary craft felt rather than the wool felt called for.  I can't see it makes a difference with something like this.  



The cute little motif is actually from the Christmas tags section, the star is from the tree decorations.  I blanket stitched around and kept to the red and white colour scheme as I think it looks festive.



He's naked on the back.  I used red floss, so does that mean this is redwork?

I can't see why the type of felt would matter for a Christmas ornament. I really like the white as a background to the red.

I love it! Did you freehand the design or sketch it on the felt first?
