About a week ago when I was blog hopping, I happened to see a photo of this new book on the market…
and I fell in ♥!
A crazy quilt done entirely in wool! Be still my ♥!
I immediately emailed Brenda at at Pumpkin Patch Primitives to see if she could order the book entitled Wool Crazy by JoAnn Mullaly for me. Well of course she could and a couple of emails later and before we knew it, the Wool Crazy Sew Along blog was born. We thought that there are probably many more of you out there in blogland who, just like us, ♥ working with wool, ♥ the primitive style and would ♥ some company as we sew along and create our future heirlooms.
So if you’d like to join us for some fun & friendship, drop in and set a spell at the Wool Crazy Sew Along. I’ll be your hostess-with-the-mostess for our sew along. *wink*
Our goal is to complete this quilt and with each others help, we can do it!
Are you Wool Crazy? We are!

Love the idea of the wool crazy and I love working with wool... And a question.. what type of pen/pencil/marker do you use to transfer your designs for embroidery? I just read that you should not use the water soluable inks.. which I used.
I couldn't get into the wool crazy blog. Says you have to be invited. Can I be invited?
Hi Kaaren, I just finished my wool rug. does that count???
I bet that will be lovely!

Hi Kaaren, I'll be joining you. Just ordered the book from Brenda. Fill me in!
I do not know anything about working with wool. But I will be following along to see what I can learn. I would love for you guys to talk us through what you are doing. I don't even know where to buy wool or what kind to buy. I can't wait until you gals get started.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Me! Me! Me!!I just got my book this weekend and want to get started this week!
Tell me what I need to do....please.. OK, I'm calming down now.:)
This is going to be a beauty - can't wait to see everyone's spin on this one. I will be watching from the sidelines :).
Hugs - karen
I love working with wool! I love making quilts and I love making penny rugs, so what could be better than this quilt!!!!!!!
A wool quilt they look so nice. I am doing a Felted wool quilt - I must get it out again.
Hi Kaaren!

OMGosh I think that I ordered that book from Primitive Gatherings.
I have never worked with wool, so I will have fun watching as you work on your projects!!
I have already ordered the book and a few of us here in Central Ohio are starting it also!!! Yes, we are Wool Crazy, among other things!
We'll send pics as we stitch along.
Love the woolie projects--don't work with wool or do stitchery. I'm going to love following along.

I will be joining the fun! My book is on the way. Let me know what comes next. How exciting!!
Thanks
Have fun. I think I will pass at this time.
Looks like a lot of fun Kaaren. Wish I could join in, but I have so many UFO's to finish off this year. I'll be watching to see all of your lovely projects.
Oh yes how wonderful......
I just ordered the book and wool and block of the month.....
Looks so beautiful...it should be great fun!
Thanks,
Happy sewing
Oh, you make this look so tempting! I have so many things on my plate right now that there is no way I can join in, but I look forward to watching everyone else.
Good for you, it sounds fabulous and I'll look forward to checking out the wool crazy bloggers.
So, so neat! How great of you to generously be the hostess! I have so much I'm working on (so why did I pull out my measuring tape to see where I might put it? lol). I'm trying to remain a fan, but if I see too many wonderful pictures I might cave and join in. :-)
Yes, I love the wools and have bought a few from Brenda.She is a really sweet person. That quilt will be a masterpiece but wool is a little pricey for my budget. Have fun doing it,

Kaaren,
I understand now and learnt about "wool felt" on Simply Quilt this week on Foxtel. I didn't realize the colours were so lovely, and the importance of washing it. Where do you buy yours? It's something that I'll have to get from the US, as what is availabe here is just a cheat polyester type felt.
I love the look of the CW Bride's quilt as well. However, I'm going to be strong and not join in with that at this stage!!!!
Regards,
