I'm participating in TWO blog hops today, so I decided to put them into one post. First up...
It's Show & Tell Day:
Just Let Me Quilt
I wanted to share two projects with you. If you haven't read the original post about my row, you can read it here.
For my first project, I started with my Aesop's Fable Row...
(Once again, here's the link to the free row PATTERN. )
For my second project, I took my Crow & Pitcher Block from the row pattern, and turned it into a WoolFelt pincushion. I thought the prim look of it would translate nicely into a pincushion...I hope you agree:

...and turned it into a wall hanging by adding more stars to the top and bottom:
I did some very simple quilting in the ditch around the blocks, and some around each star. Then, instead of binding it, I finished it off using this very easy facing technique.
One other interesting note about my project, I sewed the entire piece by hand. I hand-appliqued each block, hand-pieced the blocks together, hand-quilted it, and then hand-sewed the facing. I really enjoy other forms of hand work, and found this whole process very enjoyable as well!

Here are today's participants:

For my project, I designed a 16" WoolFelt table mat/penny rug simply titled "Skulls." It would be a perfect addition to any Halloween table or decor.
It only requires two colors of WoolFelt, and two colors of DMC embroidery floss, and sews up fairly quickly.
It's spooky enough for Halloween, but not too scary with some friendly flowers in the center!
