I like both of them. Is wool applique easier than doing it with cotton?

I love the blues in the tea ensemble.What is included in it...is it a runner, 4 napkins and tea cozy? Never mind....just reread your post and found the answer. Duh!

Thanks alaskasunshine Yes they are hand appliqued but I used fray check on the edges and also used Steam a Seam 2 to hold them in place while stitching. One thing I did do thanks to mamaw suggestion, I used Valdani pearl cotton size 12 instead of Embroidery floss. What a dream to use and did not knot as the floss does.

Love both, but especially the tree skirt. Is the felted wool easy to work with? And where sis you get the pattern?

I just love your wool applique!! The Santas and trees are too cute. I can just picture it sitting on a coffee table with a great big candle in the center. I think this is going to have to go on my to-do list. Thanks ever so much for sharing.
