We're like the Energizer Bunny

We keep going, and going, and going!
Here is the first of the finished WC RR PC's of of Second WC Round Robin.
This piece has traveled near and far and is now heading home to Sharon (Red Geranium Cottage) after many months of travel and many loving stitches from all who worked on it. Isn't it a dream? On it's last stop in NH, Joanna (Applique Today) added this stunning birdhouse.
I think any birdie would be happy living in that cutie, helloAnd she also added the word wool to the center. How cool is that? Very cool indeed.
Now this sweet RRPC is headed home. If you are just joining us and missed it's progression just click on the tag below and you'll find all the posts relating to this particular RR.
Stay tuned for the other three bases from this RR, they are quite a feast for the eyes.
I'll be back soon, Brenda

Taking Wool Crazy to a Whole New Level

There is something to be said for "practice makes perfect". You've heard that phrase, haven't you? I think we've all heard it, at one time or another. I thought of how it applies to crafting and in particular to our ongoing Wool Crazy Round Robin #2. Take a look at Joanna's contribution to Anna's pincushion. First of all, Joanna LOVES beads. She is a bedazzler if I ever met one. But I gotta tell you, I would have never thought to make the watering can look like it had polka dots with all those beads.
Isn't that amazing? Oh, and you gotta love the velvet rick rack. Hello? Jo takes Wool Crazy to a whole new level.
This is Anna's pincushion as it heads out to its last stop before heading home.
Joanna is an experienced crafter so don't feel bad if your work (like mine) isn't quite as fancy as hers. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Hope your weekend is filled with Wool Crazy fun. Enjoy! Brenda
These photos were taken by Joanna before she shipped it out to Sharon.

I'm in Wool Crazy Heaven!

Look at what came in the mail todayThis is Joanna's Wool Crazy pincushion, now in progress. Joanna is part of the second wool crazy round robin. I know, it gets confusing so just know she is in a WC RR. =) Her pincushion has traveled far and is now close to home and close to being finished. Anna Romaine Fogg added a little house and gorgeous garden to Joanna's Small Town theme.
The house has a 4Sale sign... I guess even the pincushions can't escape the recession, LOL!
I'll be working on my contribution to this cutie this week. Stay tuned for the final chapter of Joanna's WC journey. =) Brenda

It's a Wool Crazy Summer Around Here!

With the first Wool Crazy Pincushion Round Robin quickly coming to an end. I've started a new round robin with a new group of Wool Crazy quilters, and we are well on our way with the first round, Now In Progress
This group of Wool Crazy fans includes
The pic above is my contribution to Anna's pincushion base.
I was its first stop, and after my applique (you too can make this gorgeous butterfly , it's in your Wool Crazy book, it's a JoAnn Mullaly design!), I sent it off to Joanna who will add to it before sending it off to Sharon, who will add to it and then send it off to Anna.
All the pics are posted in the Wool Crazy Round Robin 2 Album.
Remember, this is a brand New Wool Crazy Round Robin....
new players, new themes, same old fun!
I will post the final pics of the first round robin when my pincushion base comes back home,
I can't wait to see it! You can visit the participants of the first round robin and see their wonderful creations on their blogs. Roseanne Kermes (did I mention she came up with the idea of starting a Wool Crazy Round Robin??? See what she started????, Thanks Roseanne, I would have never thought of it; and we're having so much fun!), JoAnn Mullaly (whose book started this wool craziness) and Pat Sloan (the super coordinator who organized the group! Not sure this woman ever sleeps). LOL!
Hope you're having a great Summer and that you don't forget that Wool is not only for the Winter...you can have some Wool Crazy Fun in the Summer too!!!
