Anyone interested in Wool Applique Quilts"
#111
They are usually bigish pieces, like a yard or two. I will try to get up there soon and have a look at exactly what they have and how much. I could get you some wool, we could work it out. I'll try for next week. Own a bed and breakfast and we are full this weekend. So busy, busy!
Oh man - I don't know how we could work it or if you would be interested but I would love remnants. However, do you recall if the remnants are really small pieces?
There is a school called Green Mountain Rug Hooking School in Vermont. Karen Schellinger is holding a week long dyeing class and it will be fantastic. She only takes 8 people and I want to go but don't really think I can afford it. I will post a link to the school and the classes. It looks so great - but Vermont is a long flight for me from Oregon - 3 flight changes! Yuk!

I didn't see the remnants on it though, I guess you have to go there for that. Next time I go, I'll take note of what they have and what the prices are like.

Your blocks are beautiful, love the colors and details.

Very nice!
Do you put the background in a hoop or simply hold it in your hand when you stitch it?

I agree, simply hold it
I use small safety pins from the back, to hold the piece in place while sewing. With the pin on the back the thread doesn't gget hung up.

I purchased the greates Embroidery Guidebook today called: "The Quilter's Stitch Bible" by Nikki Tinkler. I has great directions, visuals, and some really unusual but pretty simple stitches. Great for crazy quilts as the stitches are more linear than motif oriented. I highly recommend it.
