Needle Felted Book Covers

Playing around with my new Embellisher--these are a couple of medium size (5 x 6 inch or so) book covers. Just plain felt--cut out the shapes and went to town with the Embellisher. Added a few seed beads for interest. I am amazed at how much the original black background piece shrunk with all of the needle felting! I have since purchased some black duck cloth (canvas) to try the technique on again, as I know that the canvas won't shrink up much. Still have to add the pages, but thought I would post my progress.

Another Flower Quiltie

This is my 3rd quiltie that I am doing for Terri Stegmiller's online class. For this one, I used several fabrics that I have dyed, stamped and painted. The flowers were made on my new Embellisher machine, and then appliqued to the background.

My New Toy

So for Mother's Day a couple of weeks ago, my "kids" (read husband) got me an Embellisher needle felting machine! I've been drooling over one for the past two years, and keep talking myself out of it. I'm not sure what possessed him to get it for me, but I'm not asking questions!


I've been playing around with it, just to see what it does. I can tell that there are a lot of possibilities. I think I will just continue to play awhile, I don't want to set myself up for failure with planning too much. I made this little book cover with some various fabrics, yarn, and felt. Pretty cute.

Let me know if you can pass on any good needle felting websites or projects--I'd love to take a look.
