Wool Penny Sheep
I have a very fun project on my table this week...
A colorful lamb made from Wool Pennies.
Several Months ago, I purchased a very large wood Embroidery Hoop
from a local Thrift Store.
The hoop was in perfect condition and was mine for $ 2.50.
(Said 'kind of' smugly while doing the 'happy dance' ;)
Did I ever mention...I LOVE a good bargain ??

The Hoop measures 28in. x 18in. (71.12cm x 45.72cm)
How many Pennies can one possibly have ?? (Never enough !)
I decided to place a lamb in the oblong Embroidery Hoop.
I brought out my stash of Pennies and began experimenting
to get just the right combination of colors and textures.
This was a fun, light project.
When the Wool Pennies have been Blanket Stitched into place,
this piece can be hung directly on the wall with no further prep work.
Easy Peasy. ;)

Loaded full of texture and candy color !
(This is a great way to use up scraps of wool fabric.)
