The Wool Crazy Finale and the Winner is….?

On Wednesday I received the last round of our Wool Crazy Pin Cushion Round Robin~ Lori’s little mat!  As you can see her theme is A Patriotic Summer.  To start us off, Lori (Humble Quilts) stitched the flag, then Kaaren (Painted Quilt) stitched the wonderful watermelon and crow and finally Karen (Log Cabin Quilter) stitched the sweet little Lamb…YIKES!…Now it’s my turn!!

P1100231-1

Don’t you think that Lori’s flag is screaming for a house to go under it?  So that’s what I stitched…

P1100256-1

I can’t mail this back to Lori until Tuesday as it’s our Thanksgiving long weekend…so I may add a few more stitches…that’s what happens when you work on Wool Crazy mats…here a stitch…there a stitch…and that blue right  top corner is calling out for a little something..

P1100260This was such a fun Round Robin and all four mats are now complete!

Here’s Kaaren’s all finished depicting a Fall theme.  Adorable!!

And here is mine…my theme was The Four Seasons…I just love it!P1100263 All of these little wool mats look incredible!!  This was such a lovely experience! We all got right to work upon receiving each other’s mats adding our own creations to each project.  Not only do I come away with a gorgeous wool crazy pin cushion base that is unique and very special… BUT… I have gained three incredible friendships!! Thanks so much ladies- it always nice to ‘hang’ with other Wool Crazies!!

  2. Congrats to Happy Cottage Quilter.

    The pincushions are gorgeous, but are you really going to be able to stick pins in them? I don't think I could.

  5. Those pincushions are wonderful, so much thought into their creation. Congrats on the new part time home! I look forward to seeing if a new quilt is in the works for the new bed. I have the top done for our new 5'er and just need it put together and quilted.

  8. Here a stitch, there a stitch sounds like a song.

    The addition of the house, tree, & fence is just perfect for Lori's wool crazy piece. Very creative.

  10. Congrats to Jocelyn!

    The house is just the perfect addition, Paulette. Great idea.

    So now they're all done and Lori's will be returned to her on Tuesday. I guess that's an "almost" wrap then, huh? Woo hoo!

  11. Oh wow Thanks Paulette! I am SO thrilled, as I have never seen this magazine before, but have heard about it from several different blogs. And Yay for the fabric. Sending you an email :-) Have a Happy Thanksgiving weekend.

  17. I'm always amazed at how much detail you add to those wool crazy pincushions. Now if it were me thinking I'd add a house, it would probably have been a typical house a five year old would draw. But no, not Paulette!! You add a two story house with a chimney with flowers growing up it...LOL! Not to mention the fence, tree, flowers.
