It's MY Turn on the WOOL Blog Hop & a GIVEAWAY!!

I sure hope everyone has enjoyed themselves all week long.  I've seen some UBER talented gals out there who have come up w/some really cool ideas for using WOOL.  Once again, I want to give a big thank you to Denise from Quilted Brain for organizing this blog hop!  

Here's a few things that I finished earlier this week made especially for this hop.  I have been wanting to make up these guys for some time now and this blog hop helped motivate me to get cranking.  Those of you who know me, know that I love to create w/a variety of different things, namely WOOL applique, cross stitch and sewing/quilting. For those who don't know me that well, I used to have my very own shop yrs. ago, but now I have an Etsy shop where I sell needlecraft supplies for those same things I love to create with.  I decided to use a pattern I had from 'Simply Unique' called 'Owl Trio'.  (and yes, you can find a couple of these patterns listed in my Etsy shop if you want to make them yourself).  I used mostly a buttonhole stitch and what I like to call a 'prim' stitch.

 Please meet..........Ollie

 I love using overdyed wools the best.  They are my favorite.  I've made quite a few things over the last few yrs., mostly candle mats, table runners, and pillows.   I absolutely LOVE working w/wool!  It is such a wonderful fabric to stitch on.

And now for the GIVE~AWAY, I decided to design a little candle mat for you.  (I hope you can tell they are pumpkins and acorns) tee hee.  Totally NOT perfect, just primitive!

 You can turn it any way you like.........

 Here's what it looks like w/a candle in the center........(but that's not included in the give~away)!
