Found the new thread and will book mark ASAP. I celebrated Christmas this evening with my daughter, SIL and three grands. We had Christmas breakfast for supper and of course presents. I now have a charming little bird house to put out near my patio. I suspect it will be strictly decorative since I can't get it near the marshland area! I am happy to keep the marsh safe and not intrude on the sanctity of this special protected area.
Logcabin, I have a quilting friend who is learning how to use the technique you mentioned. She is one who is willing to try everything once. Therefore we are taking a drop spindle class next weekend and a wool felting class later the same day. Keep posting your progress, I would love to see the difference between the new and the common/traditional technique.
Such lovely fabric everyone is choosing. I already have a patterns in mind for some of them. Anxious to get started but In the mean time, I am working on 2.5" squares quilts that are UFOs from who knows when. Need to get them "out the door".
