Wool Appliques by Elizabeth Angus

I forgot to mention that I met Elizabeth Angus and I bought her book "Cozy Wool Applique Pillows". I saw the pillows made up at her booth and I thought "Oh my goodness, I love them all". So I am working on my first one, but I am making 2 of them.



I am making the one with the pumpkin background with the sheep on it.  Lucky for me I have some wool.  I am using Valdani floss.  Now I rug hook for awhile and then I applique.  I have to tell you, it has been a while since I found a book that I liked every single pattern in it.  Usually I only like a couple.  If you want to see more gotta have appliques go to:  http://sunflowerfieldspatternco.blogspot.com/.

Quilt Show in Kuna Idaho

I was invited to take my wool to the Kuna Quilt Show in Idaho.  We were there for 2 days. What a beautiful area.  

Macaela took this picture on the way to Kuna. This are looked so peaceful.
We saw a castle on the way to the show, so we had to stop and take a picture.  I didn't know that there was a castle in Kuna.


We had a lot of fun and there were a lot of great vendors.  The were a lot quilts and they were beautiful.  Here are some pictures of my booth.

We went to the Colorado Rug & Fiber Guild. It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of beautiful rugs. So many talented women. I forgot to take pictures of my tables of wool. But I did take pictures of the Colorado Rug and Fiber Guild's - Education Fund Rug Raffle. I bought the patterns and I can't wait to make them. The pictures are below.
