Beads and Bugs

I just finished a wall hanging that I designed. I started out using my new tumbler template.

Then I cut out flowers, stems and leaves from wool and placed them.

 Added beads & buttons to 1st flower.

 Made 2nd flower a little fancy.

3rd flower I kept simple.

Added some bugs.

Ready for binding and hanging sleeve.

Something Wooly

Last year I joined a Block of the Month offered by one of my local quit shops. It took me 3 trips back to the booth to make the leap to join. My first thought was "it's made of wool, i have never worked with it except for a small wall hanging i got for Christmas" but the kicker was the Thistle that is in the center of the wall hanging. Now that it is finished I can tell you that I am hooked. I love working with wool and using Valdani Threads. Now I have to hand quilt and bind it.
