Those doors in England have been haunting me. I thought maybe I would make a quilt. Then I thought about the wool felt that I have in my stash and have been neglecting. One day I sat down with my trusty graph paper and colored pencils and started doodling...
Now you need to know that I do not in any way consider myself artistic. But I did a little math, recreated the proportions of the doors, windows, moldings and added in some of the details. And then I pulled out my felt and embroidery floss and set to work.
The pink one is finished. I had that brick fabric in my stash too. I really like it! And the green door is coming along nicely too.
I had thought perhaps I would wrap them around artists canvases when they are finished and hang them, but when I played around with that idea, there were too many hard edges. I think they are crying out to be circles. I bought some wooden embroidery hoops today and with some shiny black paint they might be just the frame I need.
I just wanted you to know I haven't been totally lazy lately!
