The little blitzen is adorable. My only complaint is that the fabrics are hard to find and expensive to buy.

you might want to take a look at second hand or thrift stores. Buy the largest size in wool skirts, wash immediately when you get home in hot hot water, dry in the dryer. You can cut it up as needed into smaller pieces.

Imanna, you did a great job!!! Wool appliqué is my very favorite craft.

Dunster, don't wait. Do it now - none of us will ever use up the stuff that we have. This may become your favorite craft too.

So Cute!! I have a wool UFO that I should pull out and finish. It is a fun thing to do. I even dyed some wool using Kool Aid and it turned out very nice. It is fun playing with the colors and watching the wool soak up the bright shades of color. Might want to dabble with that again.
