Along the way as I travel to teach and vend at various textile events, I have noticed a pattern among those I meet. Nearly every person works in more than one kind of medium. Very rarely do I meet someone who only does wool appliqué in their spare time—it’s nearly always coupled with a penchant for quilting, rug hooking, embroidery, punch needle, and other kinds of creative activities. I always love to ask people how they found my designs and how they got into wool applique. Though it’s not true

A beautiful applique quilt seen at the Arizona State Fair, this detail view and the previous close-up show just a bit of the glory created in fabric. I was most impressed by the buttonhole stitch used to fix down the patches of fabric. Well done! This entry is by Gerlinde Hruzek, in the class for CC/S Seniors, Age 65 and Over, Class 183 Pictoral. She won a First Place prize for this quilt.

Early Sunday morning stitching ❤️ I am enjoying a little quiet time before getting ready for a busy week of teaching. I love stitching on my pale pink...
The cool weather and a book with cute projects inspired me last weekend and I decided to work with wool. This mini quilt measures 7″ x 9″ and the recycled wool pieces came from three sweaters and a pair of pants. The simple embroidery was done with DMC floss. The osnaburg patch with the wording …
Pomegranate Table Square 1900-16 Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework Applique and embroidery on linen 15"x15 1/2" Fruit table linen in applique and Spachtel embriodery, c. 1908 17"x51". Anonymous This week's indulgence is Arts and Crafts textiles, courtesy of the book "American Arts and Crafts Textiles" No need to wax poetic as the images speak for themselves. The colors, and the use of linen thread on linen fabric is classic Arts and Crafts Movement . I particularly love the contrast in the Pomegranate Table Square of the dark branches in the center against the gold linen. And "Lotus Portieres"... what a wonderful idea to applique curtains. I switched from drawing to sewing last week and have nearly finished the applique pillows , so I have applique on my mind. This is the third post of Arts and Crafts Textiles for for me today. Hopefully I've gotten it out of my system for awhile... except, what about the embroidered gloves I saw in a book last week.... (-apologies for blank spaces in text layout-- there seem to be some technical problems...) Three panel folding screen with conventionalized rose design. 1902-16. Flax and jute "Craftsman canvas" with linen applique and hand embroidery; each panel 66"x22". Anonymous. Pillow with conventionalized poppy design. c. 1906.

It all started with the living room of interior designer Melissa Warner's LA apartment featured on the May cover of House Beautiful . . . The room appeals to me on several levels. The colors, textures and patterns are all very pleasing. I'm not alone in my admiration. This room and apartment have been all over the blogosphere. However, some warn that you might be trendy if you like this room. I've been called worse. But you know what really caught my eye? It's something very simple and unassuming. I'll give you a hint - there are two of them in the photo. Shocking, I know, that I should like something in pairs. Have you figured it out? Yes, it's the cream-colored wool felt applique "Layla" pillow from Crate & Barrel. I love the subtle color and texture. It would make a statement in any room. I've been noticing a lot of wool felt lately. While perusing my PB Teen catalog yesterday, I ran across these examples: Which reminded me of where I first fell in love with wool felt pillows in the first place: Hable Construction. I rushed over to their website to grab some photos of the pillows I have long admired only to find a mere TWO examples. That's it. They used to have dozens of wool felt designs. What's going on? Had I missed something? A little concerned, I sent an email to Hable's sales department inquiring about the lack of wool felt pillows on their site. Was this a temporary shortage? Are there sheep on strike somewhere in New Zealand? I received a very quick and friendly response which read: "We are no longer producing the wool felt products. The pricing has gotten higher over the years and the durability is not as strong as our prints. We just felt it was better to do the better priced collection with Garnet Hill and it has been successful. Thanks for your interest. What we have left is all she wrote! - Kate" Bummer. Am I the last to know this? However, the good news is Hable Construction still carries its line of cotton canvas and cotton linen pillows in their signature bead, checker and poppy designs: As well as some very cool new designs: And, since we're on the subject of pillows, my latest obsession is this crewel pillow from High Street Market's Etsy store: I think my sofa needs another pillow. Gotta break up the symmetry of the pair I currently have. Okay, so I have slight pillow obsession. Any favorites in the bunch?
