I have had this wool project basted and ready to hand quilt for months now. It may become a pillow or it may become a wall hanging...I am not sure yet. I spent some time working on it while watching my daughter curl on Friday night. I am quilting around the wool appliqué and have not decided what to do after that.
My daughter curls in a mixed competitive league. One of her teammates asked if I was crocheting. His girlfriend admired my project. She knew it was not crochet.
I hope to get some more stitches in this week.
I love your stitching with wool. A question for you once you have a quilt done can it be washed if your wool has been pre-washed? I am thinking of adding a border to a quilt and making the applique from wool for something different - I have never used it before but love the look - but I wash my quilts - if the wool is washed to make sure it doesn't bleed could the quilt be washed?
ReplyDeleteI recognize Bertie!! I made the series last year and just love putting up a new one each month 😍
ReplyDeletePretty block ! :)
ReplyDeleteYour wool project is very pretty. Great way to spend time, watching your daughter curl and slow stitching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty block! I have yet to work with wool, but I always love how it looks.
ReplyDeleteLove your Bertie block--so funny someone would mistake it for crochet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to pass the time at curling practice. Your applique is lovely. I think for people who don't handcraft then quilting/crochet/knitting/embroidery are interchangeable in their minds :-)
ReplyDeleteWas that a Bertie block? Those were so cute!! I really waffled back and forth on whether to get it or not. I say pillow!!! :)
