CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER
Connie Reed of Ontario, Canada
From Connie: “This is awesome! I’m so excited I can hardly wait for my book to arrive.”
Book Review by Maria Nerius
I might be just a little bias in this review because I’m lucky enough to know Lynne Farris. Farris is a brilliant designer and her work always shows innovation; her projects are always fun. This book has 22 beautiful home décor projects that are rich in color and excitement. Farris knows felting. Her book teaches several ways to felt including needle felting by hand or machine, wet felting, working with felt fabric, and felting with silk. Projects include a table runner, placemats, coasters, napkin ring holders, picture frame, pencil cup, memento board, pillows, and footstool. Instructions are easy to follow. If you like felting or want to learn how to felt, this is your book.

9. Pam Murphy | April 7th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I have tried felting a few times with mixed results, from very nice to terrible! The red hat came out sweet but the other two shrank up to much, way to much! LOL I’d love to win a “how to felt” book!
Thanks for the great web site and the super giveaways!
Good luck everyone!

There is a warmth to felt and the process of felting that feeds the soul. I really want to learn how to do this so I have a way to unwind after a long day at school (I teach fifth graders
14. Karin | April 7th, 2009 at 11:19 am

I would really appreciate this book. I have stacks of felted sweaters that I sew with but would love to learn the art of
felting. I am in awe of felting that has been done on silk to creat scarves. please and thank you!
17. laura | April 7th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I would love to learn felting. I have been interested in it for some time now. I saw it being down on some craft shows on t.v. and looks like something I would really enjoy!
18. Ayelet | April 7th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

20. Lisa | April 7th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Hello What a nice book! I always love to find ways to recycle fabric that has long lost its orginal use. This book shows how to work with felt and many other fabrics. Also I am looking to teach others how to make useable items out of recycable fabrics. I would just love to win this book for myself and for them. Thanks

24. Christi Scheffel | April 7th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
It’s wonderful to have new ideas to keep our creative juices flowing. I use felting for flowers and embellishing but need to expand my horizons and get better with my technique.
25. Susan | April 7th, 2009 at 6:40 pm

I am disabled and knit to keep my fingers and hands supple. Felting what I knit seems to be the next logical step. I would love to have this book as it sounds like just the thing to help me start this new craft.
28. Melissa Cleaver | April 7th, 2009 at 11:10 pm

31. Rhawnie | April 8th, 2009 at 7:44 am
I have never felted myself, but I would love to learn. I always like to learn new crafts and pass them on to my nieces. I think it’s a shame that crafting is not past down the generations like it use to be. When I have kids I will be sure to teach them.

I have never tried felting, but have heard so much about it. It looks very interesting.
My mother & I are always looking for new crafts to learn. We are both quilters, and are looking for a new project to tackle. I think felting would be just the thing to try. I would love to receive the instructional book – ‘A Touch of Felt’.
Thanks
