Crazy for Wool Summer Sampler!

This is my summer project for hand stitching. 
I got the seasonal sets of these when I went the HMQS in May.
I've always wanted to try my hand at crazy quilting and these kits included preprinted, water soluable stitch guides. They will each finish 18"x18"...perfect for a seasonal wallhanging.
The kits are available at: SewCherished.com.
And now that I got my foundation all ready, I'll be using my perle cotton to stitch.
Please do feel free to comment and share your lessons learned as I am a newbie at this.
In the meantime, I'm off to find a Lifetime/Hallmark movie, sit down and give this a try.
Looking forward to sharing my progress with ya over the summer at Kathy's linky.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sunday Stitiching!

  2. I'm new to wool also. I have a 4th of July candle mat that I am beginning to work on now. All I've learned to far is how to prep (wash) the wool and to use a chenille needle for stitching. (Not much, I know)

    I look forward to seeing your project.

    Happy Sunday :)
