Looking for other members interested in wool applique quilts like Sue Spargo and others.

I have taught myself how to handdye my own wools and have quite a stash built up.

Let's get together and talk!

Hi,

I would love to learn. I go to 2 fiber shows a year here in Indiana and lots of cool things to see at the shows.

Do you have any pictures of the wool applique quilts you have done?

I'm interested, what did you have in mind?

I am in the process right now of getting some pics together. Hang tight for a few.

Here are pics of the first block from the Sue Spargo 2011 BOM called Imperial Blooms -

some more pics - she includes instructions for 4 new stitches each month.

Notice the stitch around the white / turquoise large bloom - it was really fun to do.

Roxanne, those are beautiful! Would you please bring them to our get-together on the 26th? I'd love to see them in person. I made our Christmas stockings out of wool, but they pale in comparison to these. The stockings were my first wool projects and I'd love to do more. Thanks for sharing!

I am also working on another wall hanging.

Let me ask- would you be interested in an organized project or do you already have projects going that you would like to share and discuss techniques?

I would be happy to organize something if we all have access to materials etc. I wil post some links for patterns for some ideas for projects.

Okay - will do - I also dye my own wool. But that's another story!
