A Very Woolly Post.
Posted on | November 27, 2018 | 14 Comments
Lots of photos today and all are wool related.
I have completed the central panel of my wool applique piece. I am now completing the pieced stars that make up the border. The photos show the whole piece and then in smaller sections.
The pattern is by Wendy Williams and is called Flocks By Night. I have used a lot of Sue Spargo techniques to embellish the trees and houses. Each tree has a star, but those will not be added until after quilting.
Hopefully next time I show this piece it will have star borders and will be quilted.
Keeping the wool theme going, these are pictures of yarn bombing in Central Melbourne. These particular trees are outside the State Library in Swanston Street and have a definite Christmas theme.
I suppose this means Christmas must be coming soon!
Have a great week.
Cheers, Karen

Such cute houses with wonderful embellishments!!! Christmas is definitely on the way!!!
I love your Christmas landscape. It is so pretty already. Can’t wait to see if after you finish making it even better! And how fun are those trees. They look warm, but since you are in Summer there, they are probably really HOT! LOL!
So nice! Can’t wait to see it in its entirety! There’s nothing like being a warm and festive tree!
Oh wow! on the wool project is such fun. I love your embroidery, always. I can’t wait to see the whole work!
Yarn bombing? At first I misread the word “yarn” for “yard.” :) I like this much, much more!
I love the yarn bombing..It is so very happy
Your wooly project is delightful! I love the circles on the trees and those little wooly sheep as so cute!
The yarn bombing is very creative, perfect for getting into the Xmas spirit!
Love the wooly project… what a lot of work in it all and perfect background so it shows off the applique beautifully. The yarn bombing is great fun… the world should have more of it…

Love your flocks by night quilt.
Lovely little wooly sheep on the ridge line peeping out between the trees. This is going to look really great when completed.
I love your project–so cute! The background is fun and the little sheep on the horizon are adorable. That tree bombing is pretty awesome–would love to see it in person!
I love the wooly piece you’re working on–so colorful, and those trees!!! The detail you’re putting on them is fabulous. Now, the yarn bombing!!! Those are amazing tree sweaters!!! My family will enjoy looking over your photos, too.
Hi Karen I love your wool project,I love Wendy’s designs too ,how lovely the trees look wrapped in wool .
Woolly trees everywhere! Love your embroidery! And now I want to take a trip to the city to check out the ‘yarn bombing’ before they are spoilt by sun, or rain!
Love the quilt Pattern and may need to find it. Your extra decorations are what makes the quilt outstanding! Enjoying also your pics of the yarning of the trees+posts. My downtown assoc. also has each store or office,etc decorates the telephone pole, tree or lamp post that is in front of them facing the street. It is a big contest. Since I’m in FL like you in Australia no snow or salt to ruin things. Thanks for sharing.
