Thanksgiving Craft

I have been working on finishing up some unfinished projects.  I thought I better hurry and get this one done before we hit Thanksgiving.  I started it last year, but only got about halfway.  I found the directions at this blog.   I love hand-sewing.  I think it is so relaxing.  I am always on the lookout for a fun hand-sewing project and this one fit the bill.  I also love working with wool felt.  I love that Joann's has started  carrying some wool blend felt.  It feels so nice and soft, nothing like the acrylic stuff.

Love it Heidi! Glad you found the time to get it finished. I don't know how some of you moms find the time because you are always going 100 miles an hour! We need to sew sometime!

I would be thankful if you made me one of those!

Love it! What are the dimentions? I am trying to find something to swag across my mantle and this would be perfect!

The shelf I hung it across is 40 1/2 inches, but you could easily extend it by stretching it a little tighter, plus I bunched my leaves up a little more than the pattern suggested because I liked the look a little more. Wendy, how about you come over and I will show YOU how to make it!
