Fantastic Felt Inspiration

I have been mulling over a few ideas for crafty goodies made out of felt. I am particularly attracted to felt decorations for christmas, as well as felt toys for my boy.



I wanted to share some of the beautiful ideas and inspirations i have seen (and also not lose the links) while browsing the net:

A great tutorial to make felt strawberries here;

A nifty way of personalising gifts with the person's name by appliqueing felt letters. Jessi's tutorial uses the felt letters to put names onto Christmas stockings, but it could definitely be used for all sorts of other things too. I am thinking library bags, or even quilts or cushion covers.

Joseph's Coat Quilt Along

I was so inspired by Kellie at Dont Look Now who is hosting the Joseph's Coat Quilt Along that i have decided to join 200+ other people making this stunning quilt.

Wow, i have never tried applique before...

I haven't chosen my colours or fabrics yet and i am still waiting to get the Floriani Stitch and Wash product, but the plan is to visit my local quilt shop on Thursday to pick up the few things i need.

I'm excited!! *Fingeres crossed* this is goning to be great :-)

Making Gift Bows from Recycled Paper

How funky is this handmade gift bow made from some recycled paper??? I love the thrifty "make do with what you have" aspect. The tutorial from the very creative Jessica at How About Orange is easy to follow, too!!
