    I have been looking for and buying some wool in a limited way. Some seems so expensive, so I have planned small projects like pincushions and wall hangings.

    I also like needle punch. I would really like to learn the different stitches you show and an economical way to buy wool.
    Thanks for the idea.

    I have down a few table runners, it is wonderful to work with wool, the colors are beautiful. But it is expensive.

    Sounds like there are a few quilters who would like to learn how. Maybe we can put something together for a tutorial?

    I would love to do some work with wool. I live near Dorr Woolens and buy wool there to make primitive hooked rugs. Although the wool is expensive, they always have bins of random sizes in the store. I would love to do a BOM or individual squares. Anything. I could use the support of quilter friends.

    love working with wool. it is soothing to your hands & mind.
    We have a group "Woolies",meets monthly for show & tell, potluck. some beautiful handwork.
    I buy almost all my wool at garage sales & thrifts. throw them in hot wash as soon as they enter the house. kill all moth,dirt, etc. then, I rip apart, wash again hot to felt.
    we regularly trade colors, etc. large yardages i wash gently & make into quilts for veterans still in their own homes.
    we also have pincushion exchange for Christmas. this is where we reserve our best talents for surprise gifts.
    would be great to see a interest group here, maybe it would inspire me to start that wildflower wall quilt I want !!

    It's about an hour away from me. I love to go there and just look and feel the fabrics they have.
