I just finished quilting this quilt top.  I was crunched for time because I needed send the quilt off so I could enter it in the 2017 Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge TN.  There is no chance to win any prize money since they have a clause that disqualifies me because I am a pattern designer.  When I get the quilt back, I will quilt some more on the borders.  The name of the quilt is Another Flock, because it is loosely based on my New Flock of Sheep pattern.

      Thanks Sandra. Needle felted applique is easy to do and is entirely hand made, using a three needle tool that costs $14.50 to push wool fibers into wool appliques qnd backgrounds, one block at a time. click here for a tutoria;l: http://www.critterpat.com/category.php?category_id=62

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.
