You wanna piece of me? 12" x12" Dec. 2008
I wasn't sure what to exhibit but I have decided to plump for one of my small journal quilts called "You wanna piece of me?" Dec 2008
I started making it back in late summer 2008 when I was experimenting with wet and dry felting. The piece then evolved as I learnt more about felting techniques. I wet felted some multi-coloured wool but left it in the pre-felt stage. Once dry I fulled it on my embellisher then added the cupcake using a 'tea-cosy' design I found in a felting book as inspiration.
I layered the piece over wool batting and quilted the piece very simply on my domestic machine. Being all wool (apart from the cotton backing fabric) the piece quilted like a dream and was a pleasure to work on. It came together so quickly too which was an advantage as I had to finish it in a holiday month when I was being torn so many ways – hence the name of the piece.

Had to smile at the title and the underlying meaning of it :-)
It looks so good I could eat it :)
Love it! And yes I do!
Hi Chubby Mummy - I am a visitor via Bilbo's blog. Hope you don't mind me popping in. I too have 4 kids - but mine have grown and flown the nest now! Instead I have grand children and great grandchildren to make quilts for. and to love and spoil - and give back at the end of the day.
I love what you did for Easter - and your children probably did like it too but wouldn't admit it! especially the boys!
This looks so yummy....LOL....great job!
Really cool quilt. It made me smile when I read your header. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting the details of how you achieved your quilt. Fascinating.
Great title for such an intriguing piece. I haven't tried felting yet (not sure I can even get what I need here) but I like the effect it gives.
