I finally finished it! I've been home with my puppy for a week, I've finished two quilts and now this pillow. I started it last fall and finished it today. Amazing, think I'll start a pumpkin centerpiece, who knows maybe I'll finish it by next year!! jo

That is fantastic! I love felted wool-even though it is the tropics here. :)
Your work is fantastic!I guess wool is pretty popular where you live,huh?
I'd love to see more of your stuff!
I did a table runner with pumpkins- just kinda made it up myself from pieces of other patterns that were in the drawer.Then I put leaves around the border and backed it with black -kinda outlining it. It turned out good-for not being much on designing.
