Working With Wool.
Posted on | March 6, 2018 | 16 Comments
Working with wool fabrics appears to becoming popular. I have had the opportunity to be able to work on a project combining ideas from both Sue Spargo and Wendy Williams. The pattern is from Wendy and many of the stitching ideas are from Sue.
The colours are more vibrant than the photo shows, but you get the idea.
All the pieces are wool as well as the background.
Again the colours are not accurate e.g. the background is blue.
The elephants still need eyes and there have to be tassels on the blankets. The pieces are about 12 by 20 inches.
The next step is to turn them into a bag with zipper sections to hold threads.
In a totally different direction, this is a book I made with some friends this afternoon. I was able to finish stitching it together and put the cover on.
It is roughly A5 size.
Not a lot else to report. Plenty happening but no finishes.
Cheers, Karen
