Have spent the morning 'fiddling'!!
I made simple paper templates .....
..pinned onto my hand made felt...
....cut out and needle felted some detail before I stitch....
....used the safety felting tool for the 'red breast'....
...and a single felting needle for the 'apples'.
:::::
I have also started another baby blanket.
The pattern has been well used and taped together after my dog grabbed it off my knee when I was knitting and decided to eat it!!!!
I am using Debbie Bliss Sublime baby cotton kapok dk which is so soft....
....I adapted the pattern to include a border which is so much easier than picking up stitches from the blanket edge. I have chosen moss stitch as this gives texture and a firm edge.
