I've finally finished my newest project.  It's a lap blanket for one of my friends.  I'm driving up to see her tomorrow.  

I cut my pieces free hand. I have trouble following a pattern. I truly believe I may have ADD but I digress. I suppose if I've lived this long not knowing I don't really need the label. It would explain alot though.


It's a variation of a pattern I found in Rebekah Smith's book "Wool Applique Folk Art".
She has really pretty patterns and great ideas.  Please check out her blog . I am pretty much in awe of her work. All her stiching is perfect. I promise Rebekah, if you see this I will practice and practice and I will make you proud! 



Mine in no way does her design justice but it's my first time using felted wool in this way.  I usually use it to rug hook. My stiching is usually comprised of quilting! I know I have a long way to go before I'm not ashamed! 

You will love her book and it will inspire you to start stiching!!
