"This book is a joy. Medieval, Elizabethan and folk art inspire Madeleine’s work and she creates using a wonderful palette of bright and bold colours." -Love to Make Felt with Love is a must-have book for anyone with an appreciation of adorable hand-crafted objects. It is a colourful one-off book, filled with fifteen cute, fun and simple projects (plus some variations) made from felted wool. As well as easy to follow instructions and step-by-step photographs for each project, the book explains various stitching and embellishment techniques. Projects include mini hanging decorations, beautiful brooches, pincushions, various wall hangings, a couple Christmassy pieces, plus much more! The author has provided templates for all the projects so that everything can be replicated with relative ease. The shapes are simply cut out using the templates and applied using easy hand embroidered stitches. Details such as veins in leaves and flowers can then be stitched with French knots or using tiny beads. Madeleine uses hand-dyed wools for the appliques, which vary in depth and hue giving beautifully unique effects. Old clothes and fabrics picked up in charity shops can be cut up and used, so instructions on dying fabric have also been included in the book. Overall, this book is a great collection of bright, affordable, and easy to sew felt projects embellished with simple stitching, buttons and beads. They are great to do "on-the-go" and once completed you have a beautiful gift for a special person or a timeless treasure for yourself!"What a treat for anyone who loves working with sequins and beads, bold colors, simple embroidery stitches, appliques, felted wool and the prettiest motifs!" -Crafter’s Choice
