Sewn felt balls!

Hello Friends,

Yesterday we had terrible trouble with the internet, we didn't manage to get on-line until the middle of the afternoon, I felt like my right arm had been removed!

I spent some time tidying up my craft room and then decided to do some good old fashioned stitching!

A while a go I saw this post by the lovely Stephanie Ackerman and had it in mind to stitch some happy balls too!

These are my first two.........



I made the round green one first and then the heart shaped one.  I left some cotton in the middle of the heart so that I could hang it if I wanted, the bottom picture is my happy little heart hanging from my door handle.

It took me a little while to get into sewing blanket stitch, as I don't think I've done it for years and years, but now I'm all fired up to have a basket full of them by Christmas, so I'll be getting really good at it soon - lol !!!

I expect I'll be off to Mason's in Abingdon in the morning for more felt!

Happy sewing,

Carole
