Blossoms In Winter, 14 designs in Wool-Felt Applique, copywrite 2002, Patti Eaton and Pamela Mostek is a book I have drooled over many times. I bought my copy in 2004 from Half-price books. Tucked inside are directions for Windy Leaves, a project by Marcus Brothers fabrics. You can find it online.
I machine stitched flowers and leaves to a wool blanket that I had machine washed and dried. A second wool blanket supplied the appliques. I passed this on to husband's DIL. I don't know how it has held up to being drug around by an active little boy with two cats.
