Spring Thyme Blog Hop Wool Projects

Back at the beginning of March Stacy West from Buttermilk Basin put together a group of designers for her Spring Thyme Blog Hop.

On March 17 I shared this picture of a design from Debbie St. Germain from Woolen Sails of a needle punch design she shared that I stitched in wool.

Well I've been playing around with some of the other designers' projects along with another one from Debbie which I incorporated into a coordinated sewing case.

This black and white bunny is courtesy of Stacy West's post that you can find if you click here, she used hers on a dish towel.

Here is a picture of the front and back of the sewing case.

Tucked inside you can see some of the other things I made with more of the freebie designs.

The forget me knot design Kathy from The Cottage At Cardiff Farms, Here is a link to her pincushion pattern.  Unfortunately right now I can't load her blog.  The pansy is courtesy Meg from Crabapple Hill Studio, Here is a link to the page if you would like to see the needle case she designed.

Ali Strebel designed a felted party chick for her day that I adapted to wool applique.  Her post and pattern can be found here.  The flower on the scissor case was also designed by Debbie St. Germain and be found here.

I put some white acrylic felt inside my needle book and have a pocket so I can store some extra new needles.

Here is a closer look at the front and back of the needle case.  In hindsight I guess I should have cut it a bit bigger.

I added the bullion bee to the picture and changed up the flower centres.

Here is a closer look at my chick, her beak is almost duck not chick!

I also adjusted the placement of my white part of the pansy from what the pattern suggests.

Love Debbie's flower.

A closer look at her flower and bunny that was originally presented as a needle punch design.

I love doing those pistil stitches.

Stacy's bunny is so sweet.

I had fun adapting the mini scissor case pattern from Reets of Reets' Rags to Stitches pattern I won in November.  I traced a larger pair of scissors and used her shape so my medium Karen Kay Buckley scissors will fit inside.

I'm also very pleased with the turquoise floral and linear print I used for the inside of the cases, I'm planning on getting some good use from this project.  I still have some other pieces which will work with these but they are not quite finished yet.  Designing as you go can be fun!
