FINISHED!!!

Finally!!!

whew!

Just in time to send it to school with Pumpkin....

She needed to take a blanket or towel for quiet/reading time

and me being me, I couldn't bring myself to give her

a store bought blankie...

nope...

I wanted it to be special

My inspiration came, believe it or not, from this...

the ceramic tile in our entry way.

I've always loved how this tile was laid

and I knew that I could incorporate something like this

with felted wool as I could stretch and pull as need be.

I cut up 4 different thrifted wool sweaters.

the mauve ribbed was pure cashmere

the pink and dark purple were a cashmere/wool blend

the red was a wool/angora blend

and the stripe was pure wool

they all felted beautifully

and considering all the squares I cut it came together really quickly

Especially using my 5 and 10 inch "square it ups"

from Jodi's Etsy shop

Pumpkin is so happy with it

I think it made her first day at school really special.

p.s. speaking of Jodi and her blog Pleasant Home.com
