In My Studio – July 9
.
Here’s what I’ve been playing with this past week:
For my “Try This” posts in July, I’m working with kits. This week, I made a needle felted flower.
The kit suggests attaching it to the back pocket of a pair of jeans, turning it into a pocket on a purse or attaching a pin to it and adding it to a hat or jacket lapel. The kit had more than enough wool roving, so I may make a couple more flowers and use them on a yarn vase.
I added trim and embroidery stitches to my crazy quilting pouch. Next, I’ll add silk ribbon flowers and embellishments to the embroidery stitches.

Oh, I can’t wait to see what you do with your felted flower!
Amazing work! I love the proverb–where do you find these?
Whenever I see a quote a like, I write it down. If I’m looking for a quote, I generally check Brainy Quotes or Quote Garden. I’m glad you enjoy them. I love a good quote.
I love the quilted piece. It is beautiful!
You have the coolest projects

So beautiful, both of them!
I like both the projects you’re working on. There’s something so relaxing about working with wool and creating images with it -though being hyper-vigilant to where that barbed needle is at all times. 😉
Your quilted pouch and embroidery are gorgeous!
I can see you’ve done needle felting if you know the danger of the barbed needle. I stabbed myself the first time I tried it, and I have been extremely careful ever since.
I love both of them! The felting just looks so cool. That vintage purse is so, so pretty, though! I really admire it!
I’ve wanted to try felting–even got the supplies when a local craft store closed down. Just haven’t gotten around to it, yet.
Love the quote.
