I am amazed at how frequently I have been blogging lately. I guess that's because I have been busy stitching. First I want to show you what I made for Carol in our FHFS for October. Now, wool or felt was waaaay out of my comfort zone but I had a test drive with a couple of projects I made for Christmas which I showed you earlier. Having discovered that I quite like working with this medium I was then on the hunt for some good wool/felt which proved to be a very difficult task locally. So, with the time ticking away I located what I needed from Mrs Martins Quilt Shop via the internet. Thanks to Karen I could then proceed making what I had planned . I found a lovely design for a table runner in one of my Simply Vintage magazines and this is the result.
I am still having fun sorting through scraps of wool felt for another project or two but meanwhile I have been busy stitching something for myself from Gail Pan's book Patchwork Loves Embroidery. Being a blanket stitch applique person I found trying to needle turn good but I have not quite perfected it yet. ( So glad this project is only for me). I have cut the sashings and corner stones ready to machine piece as soon as I have completed the last 5 blocks.
My crochet -a-long is growing and I am on the last few rows now before I start the borders. I have really enjoyed this adventure and am looking for more patterns to use up all my left over yarns.
Now I am looking for background fabric to complete the hexie Christmas freebie design from the lovely Jenny.
Angel Blessings.
wow Ondrea you sure have been busy,love all your projects,well done xx
ReplyDeletelovely work Ondrea ... the wool felt project is gorgeous. It is a shame that 'artificial' felt is readily available and not the real stuff. I'm not sure how they can call the artificial variety felt!
