She's a pro.
The background is flannel and the applique is wool and stuff.
I worked from a pattern called, "Wool Ark Crazy" by A Piece of Work....you can google it to see how very differently mine turned out. But, I must say, working from a pattern (which I almost never do) was kind of relaxing...not nearly as much figuring out or wasting of wool.
There are A LOT of pictures, but each block needed at least one picture, right? Take your time...enjoy.
And some cold and rainy day when you have LOTS of time, click on each one to see it big and you can almost feel them...and notice the actual dog and cat hairs that are stuck on...
TA-DA!
So, I like primitive style, but not the often dark primitive colors.
Doesn't it just make you happy to look at it the first time?
Much color and personality and joy!
Well, that's what I think anyway.
This block called for roosters, but I decided to
have my Golden Retrievers instead...and blue
bird buttons.
The elephant didn't have mice and they weren't
holding onto each other, but...now they do.
Oh, and their ears flap.
Chicka chicka boom boom.
The crocagators needed water...
They are friendly crocagators...see?
Making friends with the bunnies.
Love those bunny tales!
I wanted you to see that the angel's hair was all french knots.
Sweet hoots.
Giraffes may be my favorites.
But that changes sometimes....
...because I really like the fish and the ribbon water, too.
I made tiny pom poms for the lions' tails.
Oh, and the sheeps. I love the sheeps.
And they love each other.
This is the block I started with. I added
water and the olive like branch.
Meow.
Remember the branch the cute hoots were
sitting on? That was my inspiration
for this sign that is on the back of the quiltlet.
And finally, Saundra and I the day she gave it back to me.
I'm in love.
I learned lots.
And I have an idea for my next one!
So, what did you think?
Do you have favorites?
What do you think would be a good next one?
Now, I need my house done so I can hang this in a
place of honor....
