October Mini - UPDATE

Barbara has posted her mini and it adorable!  Do check it out (here)And Janet has not only finished her October mini, but has changed her Sajou quilt and it is sensational. See them both (here)

friend Randy (Barrister’sBlock) does wonderful things with wool. While looking at some of her recent creations, I admitted to her that I adore my wool but I rarely use it. She challenged me to a duel – or should I say “dual”. We have chosen a pattern and the only rule is that it has to be done by the end of the year. (Stay tuned!)

So… in the meantime, I figured I’d better practice my wool work skills. I chose 9 of the leaf blocks in the Mary Witherwax (Collector with a Needle pattern) quilt (yet another project that I have been wanting to start) and started “practicing”. 

I love the way it turned out and have appropriately named it “Wooly Witherwax”. I hope Mary would approve. 

I know a few of my cohorts have finished their Humble Quilts "Sajou" project so grab a cup of tea and hop on over to Lori's blog post (here) and see all the wonderful renditions. It never ceases to amaze me how different they can be. What fun!

  2. I recognized those leaf shapes right away as having come from the Witherwax pattern. I wonder if I have that bird print. If not, I must have something similar. Anyhow, I like it very well as your border. You still remember how to work with wool!

  11. How sweet. I love your stitches around the leaves. Did you put anything on the back of the wool before stitching the leaves down, Wendy?
