I've never worked with wool like you have, but they are beautiful! I especially love that little cottage!

I use a lot of craft felt for my candle mats. or if I just need a small amount of a certian color.[/quote]

I have used craft felt for pincushions that should have been wool and did not like the end result. They look great to start with and as time goes on, they become pilled and don't look so good. Will only use 100% wool from now on...

Your projects are beautiful! I have trouble finding 100% wool at my thrift store these days- I used to buy nice sweaters for my daughter that she used for projects. So I think you are lucky if you can find it lately.

Beautiful workmanship and lovely pieces. You have a lot of patience, but great take along projects too.
Take care.

I haven't used wool in quilting, but was always a favorite for clothing construction. The wool eased in so well and was great for hand work.

I also love working with wool. I have made several wall hangings, pillows and penny rugs.

Your 'creations' are wonderful. I will nevr be able to wool work beacuse I am very allergic to wool.

Beautiful work/designs. I, too, have appliqued in wool. It is a great exchange from quiltmaking. Would really like to do more of it.

Your wallhanging is amazing. You have such even blanket stitching, something I struggle with. I also love to work with wool. My cotton fabric and sewing supplies have been moved into a studio built for quilting and a guesthouse but I have kept all of my wool supplies in the house. I have my china cabinet full of felted wool instead of dishes! It is great to work with in front of the TV and is so portable as you know.

One of San Antoniio's LQS has a block-on-the-month that is a cotton and wool quilt from the book "Cotton & Ewe" by Betsy Chutchian and Betty Edgell. The book contains some great projects. Another good source of ideas and patterns/projects is Sue Spargo (website: suespargo.com or blog: suespargo.blogspot.com). Her designs are so bright and cheerful.

Luckily, we have two LQS in San Antonio that carry felted and unfelted wool. I have also felted some of my own from thrift store finds.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects.
