Felted teacup pig

I drew my cousin Laura in this year's family gift exchange. Since my cousin Lisa's felted beagle had gone over well, I thought Laura might like a wool critter too. Enquiries indicated that she likes teacup piglets and unicorns, and I prefer piggies to horsies, so I made a piglet... most of it on Christmas Eve, since my supplies were delayed in transit for almost four days (argh, Air Canada)

Anyway, I think I do pretty good work for my cousins. My almost-four-year-old nephew also seemed enamored :)

Felted eyeball

I made something, for the first time in forever! It's an eyeball. Yup. (I have, in the past, collected eyeballs).

Purple dog mat

I made another mat for my dog out of fabrics left over from my (still unquilted) purpley lap quilt. I think it's pretty! And I needed to learn/practice free motion quilting. It's messy but it's not terrible. The dog doesn't mind.
The cats like it too.

Felted Krogan

I wanted a Krogan of my own, so I made one!

Christmas felting

So I haven't made much of anything this year, particularly nothing felted... but Christmas gift time rolled around and I had two gift exchanges for which I could not come up with purchased gift ideas. First was a Secret Santa at work, so why not make a Christmas ornament? It's based on this: Diablo Loot Pinata



Then I drew my cousin for our family gift exchange. I heard she liked my previous beagles. I made her a slightly improved beagle! Except I made the legs all brown by accident, then after checking photo reference I felt bad and made the feet white. It's hard trying to put white over brown...

Log cabin cushion

So, over a year after making a first patchwork cushion cover, I finally got around to making the second one. I used a log cabin sort of block this time, but realized after cutting out the pieces that I'd set out the pattern wrong and had made things harder on myself (you're not supposed to have to sew in any corners in a real log cabin block). I had no extra fabric so I just made it work. Turned out fine, though the cover fits a bit snugger than the other cushion's.

Pincushion

After not making anything at all for months and months of doldrums, I decided to make a simple pincushion. I didn't exactly follow any instructions so it isn't totally perfect, but it's OK and it works :)
