Wool Applique

 I've got all the pieces cut for this wonderful wool applique piece. I'll take several of the pieces traveling with me. (btw, I don't leave until next weekend) It is called "It's a Crock" by Primitive Pieces by Lynda. My background is matka silk and am thrilled with it.
Here is another super portable hand work piece designed by Maggie Bonanomi.

I'm on a wool applique group on Facebook and this year we are doing an OOM- Ornament of the Month. This is January's.

Have a terrific Monday!

    I love the soft colors in the "it's a crock" block. I'd like to try the silk. It looks like linen. Have fun stitching!

    The ornament is darling! And the other 2 items are lovely. I love wool appliqué and have seen so many cute things that I would love to do. So little time!

    Love these projects--they will be nice to take along on your travels. Especially like the crock piece. Have you worked on silk before with your wool applique?
    Cute snowman ornie. I just saw this ornament on another blog recently but can't recall now which one. I look forward to seeing future creations. Handmade ornaments are the best!

    I have done a couple pieces with silk matka, it finishes up beautifully. I love everything Maggie! I tried to buy that kit from the Buggy Barn, it was sold out! Have a fun trip, going somewhere warm?

    The silk background is very nice looking. I purchased two pieces of some kind of silk in a quilt shop last summer but have not used it. It is what I would call taupe. Both your wool pieces are designs I like very much.

    Love what you've gotten ready for your trip. Thanks for the good reminder that it's okay to mix types of fabrics.

    Your trip will be all the more enjoyable with all the prep work done for such interesting blocks. Is the silk background a stable and firm fabric, or is it softer? Such an interesting combo, the wool and silk.
    Cute ornament!

    Such pretty projects! I ve had my eye on the flag and crocks pattern for ages, all my favorite things.
    Where do you buy the silk, I had never heard of it. Had to look it up. Interesting texture.

    I love your projects that you have prepped. Maggie has such wonderful patterns. Have you seen the wool quilt that is all shades of white and off white? It isn't new. I so want to make that.

    Hi Lori, Wanted to let you know that I did receive the book from C&T publications Cultural Fusion Quilts by Sujata Shah that I won through your giveaway and it is wonderful, thank you so much.
    Also, I would love to join the Ornament of the Month facebook group and wonder how I go about that. Could you help me out so I may start stitching these while I transport the grandchildren to their activities? Thanks for everything, YTB!!!!
