I finished my first little wool embroidery project. It's a sunflower cushion from a pattern by The Cottage at Cardiff Farms. The kit included everything I needed except the thread.
It's great to work with, isn't it? It's been awhile since I made a lovely little needlecase with poinsettia applique, all in wool felt. It whet my appetite! Bought Mary Stori's book on wool applique and got no farther. But I recently took advantage of a scrapbag deal of Mary's recommended felt brand - National - so have a variety of colors and sizes of nice wool felts to play with. Let's not mention all the unfelted wool I have left over from my seamstress days. Stay tuned...but don't hold your breath!
Very nice!
