I completed stitching this wall hanging! Knowing when to stop can be difficult sometimes, especially when I'm enjoying the process so much. I used scraps of fabrics for the border; pieces of linen and calicos. But the center area is all hand dyed wool which I dyed specifically for this project. I wasn't particular on thread brands, just used what I had in my stash. I'm not one who records numbers or names of threads; it's all about what pleases my eye. I did some shadow couching as a final step where I used some very old crochet thead which has a bit of sparkle blended in.

I plan to sell a template pattern, but one will have to create and design their own border. Making it scrappy like mine or maybe more traditional such as 2" woolen one. Limitless possibilities! I hope you like this design.

Making progress on my present project. But still a long way to go.

Started a new appliqué project, using wool of course but also some cottons and linens for the border. Designing as I go...

A couple months ago I started this needlebook, a slow stitiching project.  Now, I think it's finished...I know I can always add more when I get that urge. I'm showing pictures of the front, back and the insides...it's a rather large book. I had a great time creating this one!...no rules.

I just love how this bundle turne out! I see beautiful fall leaves or a fox, a squirrel. This one I call RED FOX...quite appropriate.

We've added a few more mottled bundles to our new section: Primitive Wool. We will continue to increase our inventory; so please keep checking back for more tempting colors.

Here's my latest addition to our Primitive Wool Bundles. This beautiful selection of 5 pieces is called MAPLE LEAVES. Perfect for fall leaves and maybe animals like a squirrel or a fox. What do you like?

I just added a new bundle to our Primitive collection of hand dyed wool. This beauty is called GREEN TEA. It is also available in yardage. Our inventory is growing fast! Take a look to see more beautiful colors.

I know it's been a very long time, but I've decided to reactivate my blog. This past month I've been busy adding a new selection of mottled wools which is perfect for primitive rug hooking and wool applique. The response has been great so far and I thank you once again for your support. I've added over 20 new colors for you to choose from. So take a look right here . Of course I will be adding more. Dyeing wool is so rewarding for me!
