I love working with wool felt – especially from Felt on the Fly! I make wool stuffed animals for my GardenBirdie shop on Etsy. My favorite at the moment is an ivory spring owl with yellow flower embellishments
I’m in love with wool felt. You know what they say: once you’ve gone wool felt you won’t go back to that crafty stuff!
Currently I’m making sunflower brooches to help welcome spring!
My favorite felt project was Yoda finger puppets. They were for a friend who was getting married and loves Star Wars. I made one Yoda and one a Yoda bride because hey, he had to come from somewhere…
My second favorite project was a Voodoo Doll pincushion with teenagers for an Anti-Valentine’s Day program. They turned out really cute.
Super cool giveaway! This book is on my wish list. And that leprechaun is adorable.
He is almost cute enough to date..
Last year my children and I made felt “peeps”. They were so cute! Everyone loved them. I would love to win this giveaway. The leprechaun is so cute!
I love felt! I can’t wait to make this cute Leprechaun! I made some Felt Valentine Envelopes that I embellished with heart decorative stiches and heart buttons and sent w/conversation hearts…
Oh my goodness he is so cute! I would love have a book about creations as have no patterns, plus I am Irish so I would have to make this guy. I do have some wool here thatI wantto make intoa penny rug but I have not got around to cutting it out. I must think I am going to mess it up!
I love the texture felt adds. I recently made a doll with felt for the hair, and love using felt for plushies!
Thanks for the fun!
Haven’t worked with felt before, but I’d love to learn. Thanks for the chance to win.
baby shoes in all shapes, sizes & styles for my new baby grand daughter who lives in Sydney Australia.. orange high top sneakers were my favorite.. *s*
So cute! I knitted & felted hearts recently.
This is my fav creation I have made using wool felt!

I love working with felt because it’s so versatile, and doesn’t need finished edges. You can see my favorite creations here:

I’m always looking for fun new projects…and these look adorable!
My favorite felt creation is finger puppets for my son-I’ve made a monkey, bunnies, and a frog so far (from my own patterns) but haven’t attempted people yet!
wool felt is a miracle fabric! if you were to give me a pencil and paper, i’d be intimidated to draw something. but with felt and a nice sharp pair of fabric scissors, and i can dig right in, and usually like what i come up with. thanks for the chance to win.
Love to make felt toys!
I would love to make something out of some wool felt. I have just made some dolls using acrylic felt and some of it was so disappointing.
I love using felt for making lots of things , hair accessories, softies, tooth fairy pillows, and more.
It is so easy to work with!
Felt is so forgiving. I like that is doesn’t fray.
I love working with felt because it’s fantastic. It’s not flimsy like fabric, doesn’t fray, has bright lovely colors, and makes sewing a breeze..I’m new to that
And I’d love to win this because i love working with Janet’s felt, it’s lovely 
I like working with felt because it’s so forgiving. If you make a mistake just get your scissors and make it right. Thanks for the chance win.
I am new to felt and would love to be able to have a copy of this book to get my creative juices flowing. Wool felt feels so much different than the acrylic found in stores. My kids enjoy seeing me crafting!
I haven’t done anything lately with felt but would love to start. My friend gave me the nicest Christmas table runner that was made from felt with Christmas ornaments on it. I flip it over and use it during the rest of the year cause there are colors on the edges that match my family room.
Felt is forgiving for newbies
I used to love making little felt dolls or animals when I was a child. Many (many) years later, I’m remembering how much I enjoyed working with felt and embroidery thread. Now just have to find the time… I love the wool felt that’s available now, such beautiful colors.
Great giveaway. I would love to win some felt. I have been some from Felt on the Fly and I love it and love working with wool. I use my wool on quilts.

The favorite things I’ve done with felt have been my zombie felties!
