Princess Lasertron Shout Out

We are super huge fans of Megan Hunt aka Princess Lasertron.  She is a rock-star in our book.  You can't believe the amazing bridal bouquts this gal is single-handedly creating from wool felt.  (Quite literally -  she a proud new mom).  Prepare to be stunned.  Head on over to http://www.princesslasertron.com/ and check out the inspiration.    Besides bridal bouquets, Megan has just launced a co-working space, CAMP, in downtown Omaha, Nebraska  -  PLUS she has a clothing line coming out soon. 

My little heart started to pitter-patter when I saw her September 6th blog post  - where Megan just happend to mention little ole Wool Felt Central as a source for her wool felt.  I was nearly giddy to see that lovely pile of felt stacked up behind her to-die-for shoes  -  knowing that those very bolts of felt had been in my shop before we packaged them up and shipped them down the Interstate to Megan.  What an joy to be included as even the tiniest little step in the process towards the creation of a bouquet for one of the most important days in a girls life.

Every time we pack up a felt supply order, I can't help myself but to imagine for just a minute what that felt will become once it reaches someone's creative hands.  Now before I wax too poetic on you . . .  just wanted to thank all the fabulously amazing people out there who trust us to be their supplier for their wool felt projects.

Revisiting Old Favorites

Do you have those patterns in your collection that you turn to time and time again?  You know the ones . . . .  You've got them down to a science, don't even really need to read the directions anymore . . . Know that any fabrics you pick out will look great.  Well, The Fat Quarter Fashionista and Get Strippy With It are those two patterns for me.

Granted, I may be just a teensy bit biased, as they do happen to be two original designs from Prairie Point Junction, but once you give them a whirl, you'll be inclined to agree with me.

What makes them so special?

The Fat Quarter Fashionista is perfect for that fat quarter stack you've collected.  Use 18 fats for a throw, 21 fats for a twin size.  Then just add border fabric.  Once I've cut this one out, I can piece the top in about 4 hours.  (O.K., I'll admit that I've been accused of exceeding the speed limit when I sew, but still  -  give yourself an afternoon and you'll be fine)

Here are some examples of fabrics I've made the Fashioinista with. 
















Our Get Strippy With It Pattern is just as easy and it showcases all those fabulous large printed stripes that are on the market right now.  I think I've made this pattern just as many times as the Fashionista, but for the life of me, don't know why I didn't take as many pictures.   Trust me on this one though, you can make it in so many different fabrics.  Stop by the shop, we've got lots of options to show you.
