This is the newest mini quilt in felted applique technique called 
Cat Faces in Wool.  It is a good beginner pattern to start needle felting because it is only 15" square.  


I had a duplicate design that I made by accident.  It was exactly like one of the birds in the Birds in Wool quilt top I am working on.  So I just made it into a block.  Maybe I'll frame it.  It is 10" high x 11" wide.

This is my wool birds quilt so far.  I am going to add two more birds in the corners at the bottom.  The borders and the cornerstones are just pinned on, so they are a bit wonky.  The borders are 6" wide to give you an idea of scale. 


The question right now is which border arrangement will I choose? or something totally different?

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.

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.
