Wool felt projects

I'm so excited, look at the right side of my page, I have a FOLLOWER! Marty an experienced blogger has been kind enough to follow me. Check out her beautiful blog at: http://www.astrollthrulife.net. Hopefully someday my blog will grow up to look as pretty as Marty's.

I've been playing with wool and wool felt the past few weeks. I already posted a picture of my Pumpkin Valley Pillow which used felted wool and some cotton fabric as the backround. The next two projects I've finished were done using a wool and polyester blend. I decided to use the blend because it's cheaper and I wanted to practice before I start my Snowman mat.

The first project is a candle mat: (the backround is gray as shown in the middle pic, not sure why it appears blue in the other pictures).


You can see I still need some practice on my stitches.


My next project was a "cheater" (eye glass) holder. I made it bright on purpose so I as long as I put the glasses in it I'll be able to find them. I made up the pattern myself. I love felt because it doesn't unravel.

doesn't look like too much yet

I told you it was bright.


 
I feeling brave so I'm going to start my snowman mat, it's made out of wool. Hope I can get it done by Christmas.
 
 
The blank spaces will have hats as well. I will stitch down the hats and then add the snowman's faces. I'll post more pictures as I go along.

    Those are really cute, Ronda! Amazing what a talented artist can make out of something so basic as felt! :-)

      Thanks Irene. I like embroidery and find that I tend to complete smaller projects. In January I'm going to try a BOM (block of the month) wall hanging maybe by breaking it into small bites I'll finish it.
