Are you new to needle felting? Would you like to see how a critter is made, start to finish? Are you wondering why your critters are turning out kind of flat and one-dimensional?

This tutorial will take you through the steps with lots of photos.

To make this project you will need the following:

• felting needle
• wool roving (you can use less expensive roving for the core and cover with the more expensive dyed roving)
• foam work surface

Do you hate doing binding? I do. I'd much rather create the quilt than worry about mitered corners and perfectly even binding.

This method is a great way to display a small quilt that you want to hang on the wall. Not only do you not need binding, but you don't need any backing either.

With this method, it's easiest if you use a heavy interfacing rather than quilt batting. You can use batting if you want to, but it makes it a little bit more difficult to wrap around the frame.

For this project you'll need your quilt, stretcher bars or a canvas, staple gun and staples, and hanging wire or some other method of hanging.
