Wool Applique

Thank you all for your kind words about my Christmas quilt. I'm still loving it! Small bits is a great way to get a complete quilt. I think that is why BOM's are so popular.
 I'm working on a few Christmas presents. I try not to put a lot of pressure on myself or do obligation gifts. To me, that isn't the reason for the season. Anybody that knows me knows I usually run a little late. I'm enjoying the stitching and I hope the recipients enjoy my humble creations.
Sometimes you need to label what it is just in case you can't tell! lol
I love wool applique on osnaburg background.
Here's another block of FLOWERS by Linda Brannock.
Here are the 4 I have done. I was hoping to get to the half square triangles, but I haven't done that yet either.

We had our first snow yesterday and now the temps are falling!! Happy Wednesday!

  1. I love all your blocks! I have a question. I've only worked with wool twice on two small table runners. When you do wool blocks in a quilt is it then not washable? I'm not sure how that would work.

    1. Ginney, I hope you read this becuase there is no email on your google+ profile.
      I have made a quilt that had a few pieces of wool on each block and I wash that one regularly. With this one with all of it wool except the background I probably will not wash it.

  2. You are cute, Lori! I'll have to remember to label some of my unrecognizable wool applique pieces. By the time I finished some holly leaves recently all of the little tips were smashed or frayed and I wondered what I had been trying to make in the first place.
    I LOVE the osnaburg idea. I would never have thought of it. What a great, rustic look!
    Your FLOWERS blocks look great. No need for labels there! : )

  7. I also have been working on wool applique. I like the look of yours on the Osnaberg and it reminds me that I have some tucked away. Thanks for the idea.

  11. Your wool project are so pretty. The BOM is a great way to make a quilt a little at a time. I love doing them. Problem is, I sometimes take on several at a time and end up with some UFOs along the way.
    Happy Stitching

  15. Darling blocks! Your flowers are very unique! I do love wool appliqué. Maybe if I wasn't making doll clothes all the time, I would have time for making something with all the wool I have accumulated. I'm sure that day will come.
