Beth creates all these lovely works of art with a needle and thread. I have always admired them. It is both a skill and a talent that she has enjoyed and worked hard at for years. I was inspired to create her a birthday gift that would compliment her works of art, so I came up with the idea of making a felted sampler. I am actually pretty proud of the way it turned out, especially since it is my first big felt project.
I used little cookie cutters like stencils. This made felting the letters much easier, and gave them a cleaner edge. I need to work on controlling the amount of wool I use in them so they are more uniform and legible. The kitty turned out quite nicely. I love the sewn on bead eyes! I am already anxious to try my hand at another felted sampler, but I need to first accomplish a few other tasks before doing so.
