Christmas Tree, Houston Festival, AQS Des Moines

We have a Christmas tree with lots of wool balls! We embellished the balls with beads, then our resident floral designer, Darlene, fixed up our tree for us. It's a little hard to see in the picture--you'll have to visit the shop or visit our booth in Houston or Des Moines!

More Wool Ball Projects

We've been working on our Wool Ball projects! We have a couple pair of earrings, a necklace, a memory wire bracelet and another bracelet, pins, and more!

You can see the balls in a basket at the right, along with another basket of rat tail cord and yarn embellishments. This was at a recent show, where they loved the wool!

The balls come without holes, so it's perfect for projects like the flower pins, left. If you want holes in the balls, you can use the HandBEHG needles in the green package. The needles also have eyes, so you can string them onto yarn or cord.

Wool Balls

We've received shipments of wool balls, and we're having a blast! Sherry at Tammy Tadd gave us the idea for this cute bracelet and Liz has made several of them. The balls come in three sizes, and we've used this smallest size for the memory wire bracelets, the next size for a jingly bracelet, the next largest size for centers of flowers, and the big daddy size for "strawberries" for the pin cushions. We plan to also make Easter eggs with the big size. More pictures on the next post!

Block of the Month

We've started a new section on our web site--it will be linked to the button soon! We've been doing various in-house Blocks of the Month for years, but we thought we'd let those who just visit us on the web get in on the act. We're offering our Three's Company Block of the Month from Thimbleberries in the traditional colorway now, and we're starting our Aunt Sara's Sampler in Thirties fabrics starting in April.

Flag Day Farm

We received the bolts of Flag Day Farm this week from Moda. We had recently received the precuts--Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, and Honey Buns and they won't last too long, but at lease now we have bolts to go with them.
