The Woolly Alphabet pattern is now ready for sale.  It took us a long time to figure out how we wanted to include six printed color pages in the pattern.  The color cover was a given but the keep costs down, we assembled five color pages so there are detail photos of ALL the blocks, rather than making a little bit of color on many pages.

We dithered on making posters of our felted applique patterns and decided to make a poster of the New Flock of Sheep in 18"x24" and we will be printing our Noah's Ark machine appliqued quilt on the other side.  The paper will be 100 lb coated stock and there will be no ink bleeding through as we have used this paper for our paper pattern covers which are now sporting double sided printing as we publish new patterns and reprinting the older ones that we have reprinted.  The second side is a detail shot of part of the quilt on the cover, or many detail photos showing the technique used.

So now the quest is to update my whole web site indicating which patterns have the back of the covers showing the detail photos.

Doodle Quilt 1

This is the finished Doodle quilt which I completed in maybe Jan.2019.  The whole idea is that I let the quilt tell me what it wanted to become. Boy, that is FUN.  There is no plan, no idea what the finished quilt will look like.  Apparently, that concept is really scary for most quilters.  I LOVE playing with colors and textures.

This is the quilt I have been working on for the last 2 or 3 years.   It is made up of little samples I made as experiments and some blocks with nothing in particular.  All the blocks are hand dyed by me and then combined by overlapping the edges and hand embroidering over those joints.  My thought is to have a professionally quilted by a long-arm machine.  Without batting and backing, it already weighs at least 10 lbs.  There is no way for me to quilt this on my home sewing machine, especially when my cat is riding on the quilt.

What to do with Hand Dyed Wool Fabric?

Image
My first experiments with ponchos I am wondering if I need to add a button at the wrist. My goal is to make the colors blend like watercolor paintings. I've been hand dying jacket weight wool fabrics for a few years now.  I use them in my needle felted appliqued quilts.  But I've had the urge to expand into ponchos and other simple jacket shapes.  Maybe there also needs to be an appliqued animal or two.
