It’s A Woolie Wednesday!

Well there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Seattle Judy’s mojo!  She has just finished wool project number TWO!!  Yup she is definitely hooked on working with wool!!

And just look at the project…SEW dang cute!!  Very sweet…Judy bought this pattern at a booth at The Road to California Quilt Show…and it came complete with wool and flannels.

I think it’s a great idea to start off working with wool by purchasing a kit…stitch it up and see how you like it.  That way you won’t be stuck with a lot of left over wool and a huge start up cost.  If you find that you love working with wool then start the wool hunt by going to thrift shops and garage sales.  If you live down in the States JoAnn carries wool (great back ground pieces!!) and most of your Quilting Shops carry wool. (Lucky YOU!!)  Here on Vancouver Island none of the shops carry wool so I have to rely on On-Line shopping and Thrift Shops.

I thought you might like to revisit Judy’s first wool project…the one that HOOKED her…

I know…hard to believe it’s her FIRST wool project!!  Her stitching is gorgeous!!

So a Wool Star is born!!  Thanks Judy for sharing!  We’d love to see your next finished project…!

What about you?  Have YOU tried working with wool??  You might just like it!!  Go ahead…try it!!  I dare you!

Have a Woolie Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. No, I haven't used wool yet, but think it is a good idea to get a kit first, like you I would have to rely on the internet as there is nothing here.

  2. Just love the wool work. Very cute patterns. If you are ever in Vancouver (152nd St. and 64th Ave., Surrey), there is a quilt shop called Wineberries that carries a good selection of wool. I don't know if they have kits, I haven't been there for a while but they also have a great selection of fabric.

  3. Well, of course, I have dabbled in wool. Crazy people that don't - but I will cut some slack to those that are allergic!

    They are both adorable. Do you remember who the pattern designer was for her first project?

  4. Great sheep project, Judy! I almost bought the same kit just the other day at a quilt shop going out of business. Now I wish I had.

  5. I love working with wool and just started a few months ago. Our Joann's does not carry wool :( I have to do all my wool shopping online.

  6. Never met a sheep applique project that I didn't like. And the snowmen with snow on their hats makes a nice mat. I like the cardinals perched on the brim too.

  7. I love both those projects - good job! My mojo has gone away for awhile too. So many ideas and I'm stuck.
