I usually cross stitch my Irish friend Sue something small for St. Patrick's Day. Here are a few of the smalls I've given to her over the years:
This year I knew I wouldn't have time to stitch her anything, so I made her a 'quilted' ornament.
I got the ornament kit from The Ornament Girl. http://theornamentgirl.com The kits are a little pricey to me, but everything comes pre-cut, and I didn't have to run to the store to find the charm and ribbon. Her instructions are also very good. I had made this type of 'quilted' ornament before, but her instructions helped me to get the second side centered on styrofoam ball, something I was never very good at before. 
One of my goals this year is to finish gifts early. Crafting and sewing are so much more fun when I'm not under pressure to finish a project.

What neat X-stitched gifts--and the ornament is an excellent choice!
I got an ornament similar to that one, from a lady I taught how to quilt. Mine is in reds. Nice.
The ornament is very pretty, I think she will love it. This is a really cute and lovely thing to do for your friend. The 'got luck?' one made me smile.
