I love all the new fibers. Sometimes it’s hard to just pick one or two. And when I received the Fiber Joy Samplers, I wanted to make something special. The combinations looked so yummy together, I knew I just couldn’t split them up. I decided to make something I could use them all together.
I cut three circles out of felt approximately 3 inches across. Using 2 of the felt pieces, I started at the outer edge and just sewed loops of the ribbons and fibers. When I finished the outer row, I started another row that just overlapped the first, and continued till I reached the center. Since I use the brownish sampler, I thought a lighter color in the center would look good, so I used some of that great ribbon Gale uses to wrapped up all those special packages for shipping. There will be some extra ribbon and fibers left over, so add a few to the back to hang from the flower. I had a little piece of lace I added, and some of those gorgeous velvet leaves. I found the turquoise button in the notions at Walmart. Who knew they had such neat rhinestones? I finished by covering the back with the third felt circle, by using fabric glue, and a few stitches around the edges, and added a pinback.
