Not much machine-piecing time this week. Been busy doing other things in preparation for our home to be on a local charity home tour in December. That will probably be the norm for the next four or five weeks. So, I may be missing in action from the blog world off and on.
However, I do have a wool applique project in progress that I can pick up to hand sew when I have a moment.
It consists of 33 four-inch blocks, two patterns alternating, and eventually will be a table runner.
The blocks are in various stages of completion -- If I get bored with one step, I can move on to another block, then come back later. The little white scraps of paper have numbers to keep me straight. This is a good way to mark projects; I use scraps of freezer paper that can be temporarily ironed on.

Your wool project is lovely. I recycle wool clothing, too. Your idea for storing your thread is a good one!
Oh wow! I hate to see Pendleton clothes get cut up but I love what you do with them! And, this project is so darn cute. Do you use an iron on adhesive to attach your fabrics? Would you consider doing a tutorial on how you do your work? I keep "planning" to do a wool appliqué but haven't started it. Although, I will admit I'll probably do it with wool felt or felt that is wool and some other fiber. I have some I purchased years ago. Maybe this winter I should take it out and start it! Lovely project to enjoy looking at.
OOooh! I LOVE your wool project!
This is really cute. I like the popsicle stick idea to wind pearle cotton. I really like how you laid out each pattern and different color fabrics. Overall it looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Wool is something I've never worked with but I always want to when I see projects like yours! Using wool clothes is smart. I love this post - it's full of great ideas! Thanks for linking up to MCM. :)
They are looking so beautiful! I also like to recycle wool. Great way to manage the floss! derussell22 at gmail.com
Very very nice. Never tried but love yours. I'd love to make a quilt from Pendleton plaids. Thanks for sharing yours.
Such a nice project going here. :) I really love your applique threads on a spindle, too - I bet that's super handy.
