Oh, that's so pretty! It makes me want to do some wool applique, too, but I'm resisting adding new (read more expense) things to my hobbies.

I love the fact that you dyed the wool, very nice. I'll check out your web site.

I feel the same way. But it looks so pretty. I will try to exercise some restraint.

Wow, love it, thanks for sharing. I have this pattern but I am a newbie at applique and trying to learn needle turn. The learning curve is really steep, at least for me, you inspire me to try again.

I am doing the applique with wool. With wool appliqué you do not need to turn a seam. Cut to size and blanket stitch it down. My background fabric is cotton, I do prefer to use it and for big projects it is less expensive. I like the mix of different fabric weights and textures. I have found the wool appliqué to be easier because you do not need to turn the seam over.

I like the finished results a lot Maybe you can give wool appliqué a try...
