hand made felt and stitching

I made a piece of felt last month (using wool roving and hot water) and then I cut it into pieces and now I'm stitching on them. More paisley theme. They're probably eventually end up sewn back together in a larger quilt/wall hanging.

I love teaching people to make felt, it's so magical! I'd love to do a workshop of felt making in San Diego this fall. I've got the roving (below). Just need a location and enough students to make it worthwhile.
