Real wool felt! What fun!
Count me in, please.
I have never made anything with wool felt. I didn’t know where to start. This package would be a great way to get into felting. I want to make a hat embellished with needle felting and I want to make a wall hanging for Spring.
I love working with felt, this year for Christmas I made a couple candle mats, I made tiny felt pincushions, and felt is the best think for teaching kids to sew. I also made bags for the girls at my daughters birthday party to decorate from felt.
I signed up for your newsletter
I am exploring working with wool and find it great to have projects to carry with me and work on by hand. And it’s amazing what a little bit of embellishment does to create a joyful piece! Thanks for the opportunity to
win the wool kit. Sue McMahan
Our knitting guild is currently embellishing knitted and fulled hats to be auctioned next fall with the proceeds donated to charity. Some guidance and skill building would be great–I’d love to be able to help with the knowledge I’d gain through the books, and give others a chance to try a new (to them) product.

I made a Christmas table runner from American Patchwork and Quilting a few years ago. I just love it.
I’m planning on getting BabyLocks new embellishing machine (more needles than their original model!), so of course I’m going to need some fibers to play with! I’m really excited there are now embellishing machines available (I have a shoulder injury and it makes doing it by hand really difficult), and what’s really great is that C&T is always up on the latest, providing books for everything a quilter/fiber artist could wish for. Thanks, C&T!
The giveaway blog said to post separate comments for each of the listed activities, so this is my comment about signing up for your newsletters…I just signed up for both the fiberarts as well as the papercrafts newsletter.
And my final comment is that I signed up for the Utube subscription (I had to first sign up for Utube, and C&T will be my first subscription!). I don’t have a blog, or do twitter, so this is my final entry.
If I won this fantastic giveaway I would design a quilt especially for the use of these wools. I enjoy needle felting to make fabric postcards that allow me to share the creativity.
These books look terrific!
I use wool on almost every project I make. I either hand wet felt, needle felt or machine felt. These would make a great addition to my work as I could use them as prefelts and add to my current projects.
I have never worked with this WoolFelt. I have fulled my own for mittens and slippers. So this would be exciting to work with.
I haven’t worked with wool felt, but if I won this, I would make yummy felt versions of “button head” pins.
Please count me in. I haven’t worked with wool felt before, but if I won, I would make a wool crazy quilt.
Those colours are just beautiful!
I would love to make a folksy quilt with them using punch needle and embroidery by machine and embellished with handwork. There would need to be a little 3D work on it too!
Or I would make a fantastic story telling cloak with appliqued figues from children’s stories on it.
I am bursting with ideas. :o)
I do have a link to you on my blog and already get your email so can’t add to my chances any more.
Guess it is fingers crossed time! :o))
i have been interested in the needle felting- have been seeing some really cool things made with this technique. I think I would make one of those nifty hats if I won- I live in Michigan and its COLD here. Thanks for the great opportunity. Nancy
I love needle-felting and working with wool. I would go to town with all this lovely wool felt, plus inspirational books! Purses, scarfs, table runners…
I’ve never seen/felt wool felt that thin before! I’d LOVE to win this! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’ve never used the product WoolFelt before, but I’d love to try it. My first project would probably be embellished journal covers, and from there, the possibilities are endless:-)
I love to needlefelt and also to hand stitch on wool.
I use wool felt to make dolls, ornaments ,stuffed animals…all kinds of art! I LOVE it!
I’m new to using wool felt. I made a needle book last week, though, using red and gray, and I had so much fun, I’m making one for my daughter now.
I have made wool gnomes and little animals from felt and would love to get more ideas from the books.
Loved these the first time you featured them. I would be so happy if I won a set of them.
Cynthia
Those felt bundles are beautiful. I’d like to try to use the felt to do some applique on miniatures, such as postcards, etc. Thanks for counting me in!

Creating with felt or felted wool has been a desire for a while. I recently cut up a wool coat and saved the fabric to learn how to felt it for a purse or mittens. Am hoping the book will help with that. I’d like to make a table topper as well for the winter months….wool and winter just go together so well. Some day a counter pane for the bed?

I’d finally get around to making some of the great felt softies I’ve been thinking about, instead of just thinking about it.
I absolutely love wool. Thanks for info about these books.
I am currently needlefelting a “mad hatter” type hat for a small mixed media sculpture. I love to add needlefelting by hand or machine to my work.
edie
My felted project include embellishments for hats and purses and some postcards. I need to explore more possibilities.
I love this! I love using wool felt in everything and I adore needle felting!

I received the message today to thank me for my subscription to the CT newsletter, then clicked on the blog and found that I might win felt for the Viking needle-felting machine I haven’t learned to use yet!
Thank you for the encouragement!
I’ve never used this before, but this will definitely be the next project I learn. Love the tote bag, especially.
Wow! What beautiful colors! I have been admiring many wool projects online and at Houston Quilt Festival this year. Looking at the patterns included, I can see this would be a wonderful way to branch into it. How exciting! I would love to make the applique’d bag and the pillow. What fun :) Please include me in your drawing – I’d love to win this pack :)

I use WoolFelt on my AccuCut GrandMark. I cut a variety of shapes for scrapbooking, home decor, and jewelry.
I would love to make a wall hanging and some pincushions.
I use it for embellishments for my bags. I want to make a laptop sleeve from wool felt as well.
I’ve signed up for the newsletter :)
What a wonderful contest, count me in! Thanks!
These books look like great resources. I purchased some wool roving, some felt and felting tools. I’ve been looking for a class with no luck so now I need books to self-tech. This could get me on my way!
I love anything to do with creating with textiles. There were several felting projects for ‘take and make’ at http://www.craftsupershow.com/ in Anaheim, CA last week. Can’t resist trying something new.
My first experience with felting was in 1982 when my babysitter “helped” me out with laundry and washed and dried my favorite foxiest-ever wool sweater. I was not a happy camper; had I known then what I know now, I’d probably given her a raise.
Now I love felting on old blue jeans, creating felt beads, buying old wool clothing at garage sales and flea markets to fashion into wearable art bags and other fun stuff.
I LOVE wool felt for applique and mixed media work. It also makes a wonderful base for art-y pincushions.
I’ve made some fabulous wintery handbags with wool felt. It makes clever handles that look lovely with topstitching and is really forgiving. Also perfect for applique on bags! National Nonwovens is the best material for it, too. Great quality and colors. I remember when I first learned about it, and calling around to see who carried it because I had to have it THAT day once I got a project in my head!
never used wool felt -
would love the opportunity to try!
wow i like it to use for gifts
I love wool felt. I admire the penny rugs and wall hangings I’ve seen in quilt shops and would love to make one of my own. So that is what I would make. A penny rug. There are so many wonderful designs that would look great in my house. I definitely need to give it a try!
I’m planning on making a couple of needlecases with woolfelt and would love to use the prize bundle for these. Thanks for sponsoring such a wonderful giveaway!
I love to needle felt and have some roving given to me by nice women who raise Alpaca and/or sheep. I made some needle felted fall leaves that turned out well and would love to try making some needle felted ATC’s, along with anything else that involves felt and fiber! Glad I saw the ad for this website in Quilting Arts Magazine!
I love to work with wool felt and needle felting. I have made candlemats, pillows, wallhangings, penny rugs and runners. It is such a cooperative fiber. Wonderful prizes. Somebody is going to be very happy.
wow I wasn’t aware of how much you can do with wool and the different varities!!
My Mom collects dolls, and years ago I made her a small doll out of wool felt and I would love to use it again. I would love to have the opportunity to make some little monster creatures–I have monster babies that need to get out of my head. Thanks for the chance to win.

I love felt and would love Mary’s book and the gift package.
I have been wanting to try felting and this would definitely be the impetus to get me started.
RT @ctpublishing: Woolfelt fat quarters + 2 felting books = one awesome giveaway. Get in the running! http://www.ctpubblog.com/2010/01/25/nati...
I like to use it with applique for my quilt projects!!
I would love to incorporate some wool into my art quilts. I am working on an Alberta, Canada series with some cows. The wool would be a great texture for the cows!
My latest felt project was a scissor holder pattern from Bird Brain Designs. Hand stitched embroidry and a pair of owl scissors made this the best gift for my mom!
I have never really made items with felt.
But I use to get square of felt and then would use to Put my Pins on to show for sale.
These are pins , like you would wear on a jacket or coat.
The different colors would brighten the display too.

I have become newly addicted to the magical properties of wool felt! Pick me, pick me!
RT @ctpublishing: only a few days left to get in the running for our latest blog giveaway http://www.ctpubblog.com/2010/01/25/nati...
I signed up for the newsletter for some more great ideas !! I can’t believe I did not know about this blog before.
I’ve been enjoying this technique for a while. I use both my Bernina and handtools. So far I’ve made needle books, digital camera bags, label pins, and scissor chatelaines – all as gifts. I’ve been saving a felted orange sweater to make a pocketbook for myself….. I could really use the inspiration to dive in to this project. Pick me, please!!
I have already made some felt brooches…but i have so many ideas….
i really wish to win this great giveaway..
I love using felt. At the moment I’m using it for the lettering on my peronalised bunting but I’ve also used it to make ornaments, particularly christmas decorations. It’s a really great giveaway!
Just signed up for your newsletter too. x
I have recently been’ turned on’ to wool and I just LOVE it! Thanks for the opp. :)
