Some fun wool applique

I love wool applique, and I love Lisa from Primitive Gatherings even more!  When she offered to put together a collection of wool for my 101 Maple Street fabric line, I said yes, yes, yes!  Just look at this yummy wool!

Have you ever seen such a perfectly co-ordinated bundle?  This bundle inspired my newest petite pattern called “Woolums.”

I normally glue-baste my wool applique in place, but this time I tried Lisa’s method of using fusible web,  and I just loved it!  The pattern has been written for the fusible web method, and the drawings have been reversed for you.

I blanket stitched these little gems using two strands of Cosmo floss because I wanted a thread that was readily available.  You can also use DMC, Aurifil floss or pearl cotton if you have it.

Then I finished them off with a package of Pumpkin Sprinkles from Just Another Button Company.  These micro-mini buttons are perfect for some fun embellishing.

We have everything in stock, except of course the fabric.  101 Maple Street ships in August.

While you’re waiting, you might want to snatch up a kit for our Foxly Petite pattern.  It has everything you need except the stuffing,  and you can make him in less than a day!  He’s the perfect Christmas ornament for all those fox loving friends!

You can find all these goodies on our website under “What’s New.”

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  We’re off to my granddaughter Michaela’s high school graduation party!

Hugs,
