Lola!

Last night I fully finished Lola. 

She's knit from 100% merino wool.  Her sweater is Mustard, an acrylic DK remnant from the Persian Tiles blanket.

I have another one on the needles but I need to change the colour of the heart stitches because they don't show up very well.

I've been getting quite a bit done on The Light of Winter. 

There's hope I may actually finish it before the summer.

I'd like to do a start on my birthday - the day before the first spring StitchNorth. I'll need to do more thinking on the matter. Perhaps the Fluttering Butterflies project I received last week.

However, last night I remembered I had a couple of wool felt appliqué kits I could get going on.

I bought this complete kit a couple of years ago at Quilter's Cupboard. I saw it on display last fall at a craft show and remembered that I had the kit.

I also have the complete kit for this project. Which I bought from Cotton Harvest at least a year ago.

I'm a sucker for sunflowers.

I just ironed freezer paper onto printer paper so I could copy the patterns onto the freezer paper. That way I won't have to reverse the templates to cut out the felt pieces. Rather than select floss to go with the felt colours, I'll just take my full floss stash and select as I go.

I also have a couple of ugly Christmas sweater wool felt appliqué kits in my stash somewhere. 

That also brings to mind the three little foundation paper piecing kits I could work on, too.
