A special gift from a special friend

Posted on January 7, 2012 by Robin

What did I do to deserve such good friends? Look at my Christmas present from Jackie.

These are four placemats. Jackie bought fiber from me, then spun it, knit it, felted it, and then needlefelted the designs. (Is that little red hen in the corner Jackie’s self-portrait?)

Here are close-ups:

Hudson is the lilac ram so he is on a mat of lilac wool.

This is the bantum chicken that hangs out in the barn.

Thanks so much, Jackie. This is an amazing gift.
