Wool project

This is my latest project.
I was tickle to do some wool applique and here it is.




I picked the pattern out of Maggie Bonanomi's book.
The original pattern is a sewing roll but I made something a little different.



Speaking about wool applique, Maggie suggest applique using Coats and Clarks #54A thread in this book.

Well, I don't have Coats and Clarks #54A thread, so I used some of my favorite YLI quilting thread. I use this thread on all my wool applique projects. ( and It's the best for quilting, of course!)




********************************


ここ数日、ウールのアップリケの作品に時間を費やしています。と、いうのも、ずーっとピーシング作業ばかりでしたし、キルトもReproものばっかりだったので、お得意のPrimitive分野をやりたい気持ちでいっぱいだったのですよ。

と、いうことで、これがそのウールプロジェクト。

ここに載せてる本からの抜粋ですが、これは元々はSewing Roll、なところをアップリケの図案だけ取り入れて違ったものを作っています。


ウールアップリケ用の糸なのですが、皆さんそれぞれに好んで使ってる糸がありますよね? 
私の場合は、このYLIってところのキルティング用の糸です。キルティングには勿論、なのですが、ウールのアップリケの時にもこの糸を使っています。
ちなみに、この本の著者のMaggieさんはCoats & Clarksの54Aを使われてあるそうです。

Love visiting your blog again. When I first took a Maggie class at the Buggy Barn her thread of choice was DualDuty brown. !!? Her reasoning was everyplace in the world seemed to carry it and she lived in many places around the world... so I think your choice will be fine. lol

Oh Lea! You are such a bad girl starting a wooly project at this time of the year!! It's been really hot here now... I have been also very tempted for some wool project since your last posting the other day, but decided to wait till fall, at least late summer. I haven't used these threads, but will check them out when I go to my LQS some time... Enjoy your applique!

It is always interesting to see what you are working on. Using wool for applique makes a project go fast since you don't have to turn under the edges!

Very nice project, Lea! I have never used just a sewing thread on wool. I have only used perle cotton. I will have to give this a try!

Your project is looking gorgeous and I will be watching to see it finished. Thanks for the tip with quilting thread for the applique, I have only used normal cotton in the past but will give it a go.

へぇ~Leaさんはウールのアップリケにもこの糸使っているんですね。
私はキルティングのときにしか使ったことがない...。
ウールのアップリケにはもっぱらウールの糸を使っています。
今度試してみようかな。
