Remember back when I was working on making Penny Rugs and felted wool phone pouches... well, I've decided that I truly enjoy working with these materials. I began doing on research online looking for a place to buy wool felt and the needed supplies. I found a neat site called Prairie Point Junction where you can buy felt, embroidery floss, and patterns for all sorts of different projects.
Around the time I found this site my family pulled names for our annual Christmas exchange... I picked out my Aunt Nancy's name and knew immediately that I wanted to make her something. I looked around the website for an idea and found a pattern that didn't look too complicated, but was still cute and fun. I am not quite sure what you call it... it's not a table runner, but something to put in the center of a table. It took me about a week to follow all the steps. Soaking and drying the wool, ironing, copying the pattern onto freezer paper, cutting, assembling, and finally sewing. It is a nice project
for the evenings, especially when it is cold outside.
I am excited about how it turned out. I learned a bunch of new techniques for how to make certain kinds of stitches. I found many helpful tutorials on "You Tube" when I got stuck and needed some help. I have already returned to the site looking for a new projects. You'll have to check back for future reveals.
Here it is...
Wow - Jen, that is so cute! And I can see how much love and work you put into it! Great job!
