I have some GREAT Big Shot projects to share with you today! My downline and friend, Laura Harvey made this gorgeous quilt hanging….with the Large Scallop Die. I LOVE the colors and all the stitching! Quilting with the Big Shot makes it SUPER simple! Way to go Laura!
Are these the cutest things ever???
My customer and friend, Jean Lowney makes these mittens to sell. I am absolutely in love with them. Last year I bought a pair for myself, my daughter Hailey and her boyfriend. Hailey and I love ours and Austin was thrilled with his too – they were black & gray and didn’t have any flowers on them…LOL! These mittens are made from old wool sweaters that are shrunk in the dryer…you know you’re not suppose to dry wool…but when you do it shrinks and gets very dense. There’s a term for it – and with all the people around me right now – we can’t think of it. My friend Terri said she usually calls it “oh #$@%#!” but that’s not the term I was hoping to share with you! LOL! Jean lines them with polar fleece so they’re super soft too. I’ve never had a warmer pair of mittens –and in Wisconsin, you better have warm mittens!
Here are some more:
What a GREAT gift these would make!!! If you’re interested in getting yourself a pair – just email me and I’ll put you in touch with Jean!
Here are the dies used:
If you'd like to order any of these products – you can go shopping right now!

Felting — The term you are looking that describes how knitted items are washed and shrunk to become soft and dense.
Good use for these dies. Now I’m going to have to put this on my xmas list!
