Felt Animal Prints and Upcoming Events

We've made a new addition to the shop lately, our felt animals as prints!

We've been experimenting with making bigger and more elaborate pieces. The hot air balloon print with Reginald and Beauregard, pictured above, is from a shadowbox we recently made. The image in the shadowbox was made just like all of our ornaments. Every piece was hand cut and then hand stitched. You may have spotted it on our recent tables at Wondercon and the Long Beach Patchwork show.
