And the Winner Is . . .

Thanks to all the creative artists that entered our Valentine Wool Felt Challenge.

The winner of our $20.00 Gift Certificate is Kathy Cooper.

We loved her combination of techniques to create this project.

Kathy designed the eyeglass case herself - using black wool felt for the pocket. The heart is made from white, red, and pink wool felt that she felted together then stitched to the black. She used a heart shaped paper punch to punch holes in the pink felt. The leaf was felted with brown and olive roving onto green felt.

Thanks for sharing your project with us, Kathy!

Here's a little gallery of some of our other favorite entries to inspire you . . .
