A couple of Christmases ago I bought a book by Poppy Treffry and hadn't tried out any of her techniques...the book is so pretty I have browsed through it a lot ...but that doesn't get things made .!!
So out came the wool blankets, the fabric scraps, the wool felting needles etc and away we went.
Thrifty Fox did the most amazing wool felted blanket, but you will have to pop over to her blog to take a peep.
...first of all if you want to have fun...you have to have a very big mess to start with....
...then you get right into it....
I cut out Foxglove shapes and zig-zagged round the edges , it looked a bit dull as I used the same woollen blanket to do the flowers so brightened it up with some wool felting which pinged the colours out a bit....
...found the writing tricky....
Thrifty Fox made 2 covers too, rainclouds and bunting with bees.
...bluebells for me next...
...could be addictive...
away to make a cup of tea now before maybe some more stitching and snipping...something birdy?....
I am hooked!!!! its so much fun using up old blanket and fabric scraps, the pleasure of combining them and embellishing them.
Feel great now I have made something again.
have a happy week.
