Day 4 of the Wool Lover Blog Hop
It is my turn to show my wooly creations... I saved one from the Pin It! Pincushion Blog Hop hosted by Sew We Quilt a couple of weeks ago, and then designed a wall hanging. Without further delay... I felted an old sweater for this one. Notice the piece I added to frame the embroidery - it came from the neckline of the sweater!

At different times of my life I enjoyed crochet, knitting, creating things with wool felt. Lately, I relax as I applique with wool and then embroider it...
