I forgot!

I made another penny rug...stars and circles for this one....and forgot to take a picture of it.  It has been done for over a week or so.

And.....I drew this little house (only 3" square; 5" with the checked border).  There is going to be a house-a-day SAL beginning January....check it out...Little Houses.  There is a pattern available.  I (in my infinite wisdom, of course) decided to make my own.  I thought it turned out pretty cute and ooh! so little!

Once again, wool felt and fabric for the applique.

*** for Ineke:   Knowing me....I would probably get about 10-15 of them done and then pffftttt!!!  Even so, 10-15 could make a cute little quilt! ;)  Just the idea of such a tiny block intrigued me.  Had to give it a try!

Christmas Time

I guess all those early Christmas commercials have had their sublimal effect on me....I have been in a Christmas mood for about a week now.  With that in mind, I worked on another of my Christmas Fun (Lynette Anderson Designs) blocks...the snowman.  I am enjoying how these little blocks are evolving with the wool felt.  Here's my dapper little guy:

Here's two other little wool projects I completed very quickly.  These are from a kit which includes all the wool felt, floss and cord to complete four different ornaments - two mittens and two stockings.  It is called Christmas Woolens by Rachel Pellman.  Here are the first two:

The butterflies and dragonflies...

the pears and snails....all together!  My completed Block 2 for In My Garden (Hatched and Patched Designs) is below:

These blocks are big...approximately 21 inches!  I have only done two blocks; when you think about it, the quilt is already 40 inches or so wide.  Gonna be a biggie!

Edited to add:

Geez!!  How could I forget??  I don't want to be on this guy's "naughty" list, that's for sure!

I had finished the wool felt applique for this guy last week.  I made him into a funky pillow with Jingle All the Way fabrics. :))

...Pears and Snails....

...a funny combination, no?  :)  These are two small parts of my second block for In My Garden.  A few pear trees...just a glimpse of those for now (since I am stilll working on the applique).  And the snails!  I love snails....no, no, no.....not real snails, a bit too much like slugs for me...  :p  yuck...Fabric snails, of course.  This little 'snail train' has a total of seven of these cute guys.  The shell is the size of a quarter, to give you a bit of perspective.

The snail's bodies and the pears are done with wool felt. In the background you can see the beginning of my pear trees. 

 This has been a fun block to work on; still to come:  dragonflies and butterflies!

In My Garden and Trees

I was asked by Judy at Bears Paw Fabrics to make this wool felt hanging for the shop:

I had completed the portions necessary for Block 1 of In My Garden by Hatched and Patched Designs.

Remember the birdie, the fountain and the flower field? Back again, all together!   Here are the two smaller squarers with the birds and flowers (? I think that's what they are!).

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

My Penny Rug

I have always looked at and wanted my own penny rug.  I know I have looked at the shop models over and over again, trying to decide if I could actually make one, and like it.  I think I have managed to do it!

I think my Willie Raye chickens like it, too!

Too Cute!!

...and it's free, too!  Erin Russek released this little freebie on her blog yesterday morning.  Needless to say, I fell in love with her cuteness!  I had to stop eveything and make her right away.  My little Christmas Angel is stitched on Kansas Troubles Warm Memories fabric with all wool felt for the applique.

Isn't she sweet?  Check out Erin's blog here.  Lots of nice patterns and some great applique tutorials.

More wool

In the midst of making my flower block for my little garden, I decided to also make a wool mat for the table.  Lots of circles, but very easy to make using my GoBaby! cutter.  Here's a picture of it all together and ready to be stitched.  It is only glue basted for now...and I notice (of course after the picture) that one of the little stems is crooked.  Not to worry, it will be straightened out during the stitching.

(The two black circles at the top are magnets to hold it onto my refrigerator, which has lately become my place of choice for pictures).

My 'bizzy garden' is all together!  Woohoo!  Big Hapy Dance time!   I will try and get a few pictures once the sun comes out around here today. :))
