It's beautiful - the silk gives it a very luxurious finish and the colours you've used together are lovely. It must have taken quite a long time to make?

Here's an entry from Molly U. Here's what she said about it: I practice yoga regularly and always need to pad my knees. I decided to try felting a knee pad. This one is one of several I’ve done recently. I decided to put my bin of bits and pieces, mostly merino, to good use with this one. The “namasté is written with pencil roving. It measures 23” x 10”, perfect for wide legged child’s pose

I hope you like my vase - it's actually a strawberry conserve jar - I finished up the conserve on my scones and couldn't bear to put the jar in the recycling as the glass is a pretty threepenny shape.

I made a small felt picture for the (tree) second quarter challenge. After the flowers on my ‘Amelanchier Canadensis’ dropped off they made way for the berries to form. They are very pretty at the half-way stage - sort off white with a pale green tinge and pink spiky bits popping out of one end - as you can see in this photo. The felt measures approximately 30cms square (nearly 12"). I made the background from many shades of green - one of them is almost luminous and can mainly be seen peeping out from the top. Some of the berries have already started to turn colour - they end up a rich reddy purple.

Beautiful Lyn! I love seeing the life cycle of the flowers to berries to red berries on trees. Such fun to see the changes that sometimes seem to happen overnight.

Gorgeous Lyn. I love your choice of colour; those trees are so lovely - the leaves, their colour change, the flowers and the berries. Such a lovely tree.
