My name is Paulette and I have a problem….
I have been Wool Crazy for a few years now…ever since I was bitten by that crazy Wool Bug! Man, I had it bad…when it came to wool, there was no stopping me!! I wanted wool…I NEEDED wool…and of course the shops in my area didn’t carry any…so there was only one thing to do!! Hit the Thrift Shops and started dyeing my own…
I started small…with pennies…
…and pillows!
Oh…and Mug Rugs! (get your mug off that mat!!!:)
I dabbled in wool Needle Felting…
Yum…don’t you just LOVE wool!! (NO, that’s not a question!)
A wool penny even went across the ocean and is now living in England! No, I didn’t send one to the Queen…but close!
And of course there is the Heart to Hand Autumn Quilt…
I could go on and on and on…but will leave you with a few UFO…man I have a ton of THESE!
This one by Heart to Hand, just needs to be sewn together…I may have it finished by the time the snow flies…
That is…if another wool project doesn’t sway me away…you know how it is when you have a…problem…
So let’s get to the good part…I am having a little WOOL give away. I have this sweet little bundle of Woolie goodness PLUS a little woolie surprise…all you have to do is leave me a comment…and forgive me for being LATE with this post! (I thought my post was due on TUESDAY!!)
Thank you so much, Denise from Pieced Brain Blog for being such a wonderful hostess!! It was fun!
Now hurry over to all the other Wool Crazies and see what they have been doing!! Here’s today’s list of Crazy About Wool Bloggers!
Monday, September 23
Sweet P…HEY, that’s ME!!
NOW GO!!
Have fun!~P
Love the wool and love your blog! Lots of pretty things you have worked on.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog through this wool hop!!! Love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that you are so much like me. Wool is becoming a obsession now that I am also rug hooking. Love your bundle. I too have wool UFO's.
ReplyDeleteLove this wool hop. There is no such thing as having too much wool.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog and I am always impressed with your projects - especially the wool. The autumn quilt is on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wool projects! I love the chickens... and I made a quilt with woolies just for me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteI love wool too, can I be on your list???? Love all your pieces that you have done!!
ReplyDeleteI have only recently done some work with felted wool. I've finished a cute fall pillow (pumpkin with cat) and have a little table runner kit with snowmen that I haven't started yet. I love how forgiving it is to work with wool!

ReplyDeleteI love, love love wool. Can't seem to get, lurk in thrift stores to score a wool garment, gather patterns for projects made with wool. I have it bad. Sure would enjoy a woolie bundle. Thanks. Your posts alway make me smile.
ReplyDeleteYes P you've been bitten by the Wool Bug! However, it's not fatal and you're surrounded by beautiful wooly quilts etc.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of your wool, some of which I have also. The same bug is at my home here in Wisconsin.
Some lovely woolly work there; I have to admit there is something about wool; it's what I prefer to knit with too.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog and can't believe how much you get done. It makes me feel like a slacker. I love working with wool, no edges to worry about turning and soft and yummy to work on.
ReplyDeleteI love all the wool things you make. Do you have a good source for reasonably priced black wool that is big enough pieces to be backgrounds? Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

ReplyDeleteI can see I'm following in your footsteps. Been looking at Settler's Pride online. Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteWon't mention the MB kits in my wool drawer :)
I love the story of how you fell in love with wool. I am going to try my first wool project this fall.
ReplyDeleteWe might be related !! I love the same "crafty" things that you do. Love the autumn piece on the table.
ReplyDeleteLove the wool and all the projects you shared.
ReplyDeleteI have just become a woolie--need to get a wool stash! Would love that stack.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh....I love all the wool quilts......but I need the name of the pattern that is the candle mat with the chickens.....I have a friend that just got a bunch of chickens and she is having a birthday coming up....I need to make this for her....
ReplyDeleteLovely wool you have dyed as well as beautiful quilts yo have made. I would love to get a wool stash started. I have a book of designs but no wool yet. Thanks for only making me want wool more! :-) K-

ReplyDeleteGorgeous projects. Love your blog. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove all of your projects - finished and UFOs!
ReplyDeleteI love your wool projects! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Paulette, I am glad I came back to discover your very very fantastic blog. WOW sooooooooooo many very gorgeous wool creations. My favorite is the "Snowy Days" and the "Chooks". love them. I am also very very addicted to working with wool and have been for many years.. Happy Autumn. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteYou really know what you are doing..no dithering!! And dying the wool yourself, that is special. I would very much enjoy working with some of yours..thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win !!
ReplyDeleteI love all your wooly projects and like you I am addicted to wool. mmm I haven't made a wool quilt yet....I wonder....
ReplyDeleteI too have the wool bug! Need to start looking in the thrift shops. So expensive. How did you start to dye your own? What dyes do you use? And the quilts with wool...do you wash them in the washing machine like you would a regular quilt? Sorry for all the questions. With so many comments I understand if you do not have time to answer me.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Debbie
Hi Paulette! Yes, this woolie bug is a doozie! Love those soft wools! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Leslie

I am just starting with wool applique and I am rapidly becoming addicted! Paulette do you remeber the designer of the chicken penny you showed in this post? I love chickens and would like to do a couple in a wool project. I am starting to build up a stash but don't have very much yet. Thank you for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt and fall quilt ufo is stunning!! I am not familiar with wool quilting, so now I am going to look into them.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you know I'd love to win. The wool is my absolute favourite colour and you would save postage!! All's good!

I too, love wool. The same "bug" has bitten me! I started with visiting thrift shops as well, but never attempted dyeing any wool myself - just felting the wool from old skirts, slacks, and jackets. Now it's easier to shop online and get some wonderful wool from great sources out there. Thanks for sharing on your blog and participating in the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI think the wool bug has bitten many people....I have been doing wools for about 3 years and just love the look. Thanks for taking part in this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors. I have been wanting to make something with wool maybe this will jump start me.
ReplyDeleteLove your wool projects. I fell in love with wool last year and am now trying rug hooking.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! This wool hop is going to be very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and always enjoy all the wooly goodness you share. I have been wanting to dive into working with wool and share your love of it. This is a great blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great wool projects. I have the chicken table topper but the teacher had us make it in felt - would like to do it again but use wool. I'm just starting to get into wool - love the look of it. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a feast for the eyes. I love all your projects especially the chicken penny rug. I would love to go in the draw for the wool bundle. Thanks.
ReplyDeletevalspierssews@gmail.com
I recently attended a quilt show and bought a wall hanging wool kit. Can't wait to get started with it. It could use some beautiful greens so I'd love to win this bundle! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYour wool projects are all so different and very nice. I have not yet worked in wool. Maybe you can give me the little push I need.
ReplyDeleteI too am a wool lover & quilter and hope you keep your house locked or I would be soooo tempted to come borrow some of your wool projects. I promise I would put a note on them so when I die my family will know who to return them to.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are so beautiful, I want so many patterns but my budget says no so I will just have to drool over the pictures. Beautiful work on all of your projects.
Wow! Love your wool quilts. I have only done one and started a second. I am in awe of all your work.
ReplyDeleteInspiring! And it's just about the perfect time to cozy up in my house and play with some wool. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLove the wool!!!!
