The folks at National Nonwovens sent me some new samples a bit ago. The colorways of Beautiful Earth and Naturally Inspired are perfect for fall. And since today is the first day of fall, I thought it was a fitting project.
When I was laying in bed sick, I needed to find something creative that I could do sans sewing machine, sans sitting upright, sans any movement at all.
I gathered these colors up along with a fat quarter of Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks collection and started cutting out leaves. Once I had a good pile of them I just alternated colors and sizes, layering and stacking felt and fabrics, sewing them together with long stitches of embroidery thread.
I ended up with some beautiful felt, fall foliage that I think will find it's place in my living room window.
This is a wonderful idea! Such a great way to use up felt and fabric scraps. I may do this with my kids this weekend. If I blog about it, I'll be sure to link back to you, thanks!
