As I mentioned before, my friend kindly took the time to stamp some fabric swatches I sent her. I wanted to experiment with this idea before investing any money in stamping myself. Though, with her repertoire of stamps, I might just request a partnership:D As a thank...
I ordered the blue moth ornament kit from Lolli and Grace to gift to a friend.
I made another little felt cactus for a friend, plus a mugrug for my tea at the lab!
I was alerted that some files were missing, so I’ve added the stuffed felt guinea pig and fabric book cover tutorials. We’re back in action!
I made a family of mini felt cacti planted in tiny terra cotta pots with teeny gravelly bits for panache!
I stitched up a felt coaster sporting a cute tooth.
I made a felt ornament in the shape of the letter J for a friend. I was inspired by a letter R given to me, which hails from Mexico.
I was recently given this beautifully elegant carved vintage locket, and I turned it into my travel pin cushion.
I made a tiny felt mural with an embroidered bee and flowers for my gardening friend.
Inspired by an image online, I made a felt cassette tape displayed on a small canvas for my nephew’s birthday.
As part of TextileArtist.org Stitch Club, Susie Vickory inspired me to create art from otherwise plastic garbage.
At one of my guild meetings, I picked up a small dimensional embroidery kit by A Candle In The Cellar, aptly named "woolly worm on a leaf". I put it away for a time because at a glance, it looked like it used bullion knots to make the worm and I wanted more practice...
While I still had Pretty Birds laying around, I made a flamingo. I wanted to see how goofy the long legs would be. Instead of using just fabric, I stuffed each leg with two pipecleaners; I love how they turned out with this trick! It isn't too noticeable, but because...
A while back I was at a discount bookstore and picked up a book by Virginia Lindsay, Pretty Birds. It has very simple patterns to make a range of different little birds and was just the thing I needed to find an idea for the handmade ornament exchange my embroidery...
I made some more mini felt cacti (see the originals here, and my last round here). I needed a gift and it never makes sense to only make one since they are pretty easy so I was experimenting with a few options. You'll notice I tried painting the terra cotta pots. One...
I needle felted a Christmas pickle! I realize not everyone knows what that is, so let me explain. My MIL introduced me to this concept many years ago, which is apparently German-American, though I don't think I ever heard anyone in my family using the tradition....
I made two more felt cacti, although they are less-mini than the previous set. Unfortunately, I gave both away without getting a photo next to the tiny originals for a size comparison (they happen to be on display at the county library with other embroidery guild...
I made a little potted garden of mini felt cacti! I set out to make them for Boy's office, but then people caught wind and wanted some;) You might remember from last week's WIP post that I was using Delilah Iris's Cactus Plush pattern. I added bead melon's to some of...
For my embroidery guild ornament exchange, I decided to make a Little Lark - Gingermelon Dolls makes the cutest little plushies, and she is so generous to offer some patterns for free! To test out my skills and the pattern, I started with a fabric I really liked and...
Brrr it is cold out there! This week's Works in Progress do not include TAST, nor has there been progress on my crazy quilt block, but I do have things to show! I needed to make something for the ornament exchange with my guild. I will write about that in another post...
