"Stitch in Thyme" wool applique
 

Design by Lori Smith. Hand sewn wool appliqué on flannel. Thanks for looking.

That’s simply beautiful!! Look at all those perfect stitches, so very talented!

Very nice. I too enjoy doing wool applique but have only just started it and have only completed a few small things. Still in the acquisition stage of felted wool. I have had zero luck with wool clothes that are labeled dry clean only from thrift stores, they just don't felt for me. So now when I come across felted wool bundles at shows I pick up a few. I have found that I really like embellishing it with decorative hand embroidery stitches too, like Sue Spargo does, it really bumps it up a notch and feeds my thread addiction with all her pretty embroidery threads that Wonderfil makes.

That's gorgeous!

really beautiful

Awe, so pretty. I just love fall quilts.

Beautiful work! I have that pattern, but it's filed away in the "someday" section of my sewing room.

Great job on your wool applique.

So beautiful! That is something I'd like to do. You did a wonderful job!

Very pretty quilt. Great job.

Really lovely. I'm not an appliquer, but I love the results.

So pretty and great workmanship. Your stitches are perfect.

You have made a gorgeous quilt. I Love it.

Looks absolutely amazing, I only see this type and quality when I go to the Quilt Show. Great job!

So perfect. This quilt looks like it could have been made by colonial women.:o

Beautiful... a couple of questions...are you going to use this quilt or display it only? if you're using it, did you pre-wash your flannel to take care of the shrinkage? If not, will the quilt be ruined when washed because of the the flannel and wool combo shrinking?
I really love these quilts but am not interested in losing all that stitching if it is going to be ruined....and I love quilts that I can use. Thanks in advance. I've been wondering about these things and haven't found all the answers yet in a single place.

I will use it for display only. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it is only 37" x 45", and is not really even throw size. I had never worked with wool or flannel before, and I did not pre-wash anything. Having said that, in the future I will pre-wash both the wool and flannel, because I have come to understand that flannel shrinks terribly. This particular pattern by Lori Smith gave instructions for pre-washing the wool. I will not chance washing this one at this point-live and learn!

Very pretty!

So very beautiful! This past weekend I attended a quilt show in Montrose, Colorado which had wonderful quilts. They had a presentation by some of their members on wool applique. It is so intriguing and I am tempted to give it a try. Your lovely piece just adds to that temptation.

Very pretty! Beautiful workmanship.
