I finished quilting ‘Sampler in the Cabin’ this week and it will be on display next week at Gresford (and it will look better than in the picture!). Hurrah!

             Sampler In the cabin

 

I decided that I needed another felted cushion for my display. I love the work of Moy Mackay and followed her procedure to create one.

         Second layer and sky

              Finished scene

 

               Netting

 

 

          Soap

                                 

           Wet felted

 

Everything went so well and I was very pleased with the result. Because of time constraints I needed to get on with the thread work so I decided to put it in the tumble dryer with a towel. I knew it would get a good pummelling, helping along the felting process. What I didn’t factor into this process was the heat aspect of it! Duh! What I ended up with was a very well felted picture but it was so much smaller and not suitable for the centre of a cushion! So I decided to forget about that and devote the rest of the time to preparing my quilts for the exhibition.
