Sweater Felting

This delicious rainbow of colors is a row of felted sweater arms.

For a bunting banner I made, with inspiration from here (I'm bedazzled by her projects), I cut lots of little pieces in my favorite pastels.

Added just a few buttons and bits of lace and trim,

and attatched to some vintage wool lace.

And voila....Easy to do and makes a good sampler of the colors and textures one has available.

Countdown to Birthday give-a-way

Presents? Yes, presents. We are having a birthday give-away.

Pictured below are the two items for the give-away.

Carol made the first out of felted wool, stitched layers together with some padding in the center, and embroidered a die cut flower on top.

The heart measures 6 1/2" from top to bottom.

Elizabeth's gift is a set of sweater felted pieces:

These 20 felted wool sweater pieces are a little over 4x5 inches each.
The four felt flowers are 2 inches each
These are all cut up from wool sweaters
that have been washed in hot water to felt.

The plan is: Make a comment on any post from this one (July 22) through Sunday (July 26), and we will draw 2 numbers on Monday. We will post the winners on Tuesday (July 28). Please be sure your email is available so that we can contact you.
