These are not mine - but aren't they great
These were made by a woman who lives close to me ( in my little village everyone lives close!) She used to sell her own dyed wool from her own quilt shop, but has since closed it down. But she is still dyeing and selling wool. I have bought quite a few of her pieces of wool over the past year or so - from another quilt shop. She was at QBTB and had these pieces to show us. The chicken are tweed wool from the thrift store. I am getting two metres of black wool from her. I am so ready to start making some wool applique. Now I just need a pattern. The chicken are so cute!! I just love them. I think chickens really lend themselves to wool applique!!

ReplyDeleteI like the look of those -- but wouldn't it be hard to do wool applique, since it's so thick? I've never tried, but it looks so warm and folksy!
