Our sewing group has taken on making wool birds as a fund raiser for the Dungeness River Center in Seqium, Washington. Here are just a few we've made and boy, they are selling like hot cakes. I don't think we can keep up with the demand! I enjoy working on them in the evenings while listening to a book and of course at our sewing get togethers.
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.
Started a new appliqué project, using wool of course but also some cottons and linens for the border. Designing as I go...
I just want to say a BIG thank you to all of you who purchased from us this past weekend...you are the best! It was a such a success.
...no rules.
