    Default Wool Appliqué

    I started to get into wool appliqué a little. Here are a couple smaller projects--a spring and fall one. I ended up hand quilting the fall one on a cotton background. I really like it and it is much faster than needle turned appliqué.

    Really nice! I started to do a little wool applique last autumn. My biggest problem is finding the wool felt. It's not readily available and very expensive. I could order online but I'd like to see what I am buying first.
    It's a great hobby to do while watching TV.

    You did a really nice job. I have a wool applique project but haven't had time to fit it into my schedule yet. I too like that it is so much quicker than needle turn.

    ​Cute! I like how vibrant the colours are in wool appliqué.

    So pretty. You've done a great job. I love the texture and depth you get with wool applique. I plan on doing more, but have loads of baby stuff to make this year.

    Great eye-candy for me. Haven't done any, but sure love the looks of them.

    I machine appliqued with a straight stitch on wool. The project had stars and I found that on the points, the wool frayed. Other than that issue (a big one), I was pleased with the result.

    I love wool applique, too. And, yours are wonderful. You did a great job... even stitching. You're going to enjoy these for a long time.
