Wool Acorns

These are felted acorns using hand dyed roving. We have oak trees and tons of acorns so I thought I'd try making a few of these. I just wet felt the roving into an acorn shape and when dry I glue a real acorn top on it. If you want to purchase wool acorns there are many vendors on Etsy that make and sell these. They're kind of fun to set out in a little dish.

Sunflower October Block Of The Month

The latest block in the Block of the Month hooked rug. Block number 4. Hooked by Karen Haskett. I also stitched this as a wool applique pillow on a dark navy background, it turned out very well....will post it at a later time.

Star Christmas Tree Skirt

Featured in Create & Decorate Magazine December 2009. My most recent project in the magazine. This tree skirt is made with National NonWovens WoolFelt. The wool felt has a nice texture but not as costly as 100% wool, although it certainly could be made using all wool fabric. I've blanket stitched the stars and all the edges. A few beads and simple embroidery in the center of each star. Kits are available on my website Cabin Creek

White Pumpkin Pillow Create & Decorate Holiday 2009

This is my latest project in the Holiday 2009 issue of Create & Decorate magazine. I love this pillow! The colors are so warm. (If you like wool applique I have kits available on my website.) The magazine with the pattern in it should be out in stores the middle of September. I'm dying wool today and it's really turning out beautifully. So pretty I can hardly part with the wool! Just way too much fun!

September Block of the Month

This is the 3rd block. Sorry about the photo, this is really wider than the bluebird but it's the best I have for right now. I should have had this here sooner....time just flies! I love the colors.

Bluebird Block of the Month Hooked Rug

This is the latest Block of the Month. Better late than never. The next one will be available in a few weeks already!

Pansy Hooked Rug finally finished

Well, It's finally finished! After 5 years of sitting in a basket. I'm pretty happy with it now. So glad I tried the dip dye for the leaves. This is my own design, if you are a rug hooker and would like this pattern please stop by my website http://cabincreekdesigns.com/ The pattern is available on monk's cloth or linen.
