Tina’s Cute and Colorful Hen

Tina’s needle felting designs just keep getting better! Her fun little Colorful Hen is a perfect example. This little cutie has lots of colorful wool roving to make her feathers. Her wings are attached with glass beads but you can use a couple of buttons too. Wire is used as armature to construct her sturdy legs and make her body and neck. An easy and great way to make your needle felted creation stand up well. A fun critter to decorate your home, maybe in the kitchen! The “real” feathered gals at Tina’s ranch are busy scratching up bits of corn and other goodies in the hay in their yard. During the day while Tina is at the studio, they all enjoy time cruising around their charming Chicken House. When Tina drives in after work, they all run to meet her truck. Such faithful little chicken friends!

We have the pattern plus a complete kit for you to make your own Colorful Hen to faithfully greet you in your home. Make a visit to our Needle Felting Department on our web site and see the Hen plus other wonderful critters in Tina’s collection.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day. Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel. He only took a couple of hours one night to complete. A hint for you to speed your embroidery. Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design. You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color. This little cutie would make a great ornament too. Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way. FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel. The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin. Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem. The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice de...

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer. Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric. Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing. To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later! Dark fabrics are nearly impossible to trace an embroidery design on as the light from your light box doesn’t go through the dark fabric. Transfer-Eze is just the ticket! Finger press your printed design on the dark fabric. I found the Transfer-Eze adhered better to the fabric after the fabric was washed to remove the sizing. The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY t...
