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.


Elizabeth and Carol

    Oh my goodness - what yummy gifts! That heart is simply precious! I may need to try my hand at felting. It's gorgeous, and I've not ever tried it!

    I want 'em! I want 'em! I want 'em all! I love the little heart, Carol. And, Betty, so many pretty little felted squares! Carol, I liked how you photographed it hanging from a tree... Such pretties. I still haven't figured out how to submit comments any other way than annonymous. -Becky (originalaartvark@yahoo.com)

    The heart is just lovely! And I have to agree with Heather, the felted sweater pieces are, well, yummy! (seriously, the exact same word came to my mind when I saw the photos - to funny!)

    I would love to win these wonderful felt treasures! The heart with the flower is absolutely charming. And to receive felted wool that I didn't have to felt myself would be tiptop. My poor washer would be happy too! I just can't lose because I am in the Silver Bella ornament swap with you and look forward to meeting you in person in November.

    I love all your work and your supply of wool sweaters that you felt. I keep looking at all the goodwills, etc but have no luck. Maybe CA is not exactly a sweater friendly environment. Our family does not wear very many either.
