Contest

Announcing winners is always a bittersweet experience. On the one hand, I'm always happy for our winners. On the other hand, I truly wish we could give everyone a gift that took the time to enter. BUT since we can't... the two winners, drawn at random, for a $25.00 gift certificate from Bella Luna Toys, are: Lois Tschaepe and Rebekah.

I love everything at Bella Luna, but my three favorites are:
-German Shield and Sword Set
-Silk Dragon Costume
-Play Stands and arch
I LOVE anything medieval and I hope my triplet grandsons will also! My great nephew (who is three) has been raised with dragons, knights, etc. His parents are reenactors. I know all the boys would love anything!

That's very sweet, thank you for the giveaway and the great idea. Now I must get fabric for Valentine's Day napkins.

Congrats, ladies. Just send your snail mail address to us at weefolkart@yahoo.com. Thank you to everyone that participated, and a HUGELY big thank you to Julie, over at Prairie Point Junction, for donating the wonderful prizes.

EDIT: This Give-Away is over. Thanks to everyone that participated, and a special thank you to Juile, at Prairied Point Junction for providing the materials for the Give-Away!

We weren't planning on having a Valentines Day Give-Away, but then we received an offer from Julie over at Wool Felt Central (A.K.A. Prairie Point Junction) which we couldn't refuse. For starters, she has kindly offered all Wee Folk Art readers 20% off regularly priced merchandise on all orders. How awesome is that? All you have to do is click on their cute little button up in the right hand corner of our home page and you receive 20% off. Makes building our felt stash doable! Then she said... "We'd also be happy to support another Give-Away if you perhaps have something dreamed up for Valentines Day. I bet you have tons of great ideas. You gals amaze me!"

Well, with that offer, what else could we do? So last night we "dreamed up" something special for Valentine's Day. One easy way to herald in any Holiday, is to simply set the table with Holiday themed napkins and napkin rings. Here are our go-to napkins... the old Rip and Tears. Easy and fast to make. Then, we reworked a heart motif that we had used last year for a necklace and brooch, and fashioned heart-shaped napkin rings.

Here is the Give-Away. Julie has put together kits for making 4 napkins and 4 napkin rings.

The kits include:
12" x 18" each of three wool felt colors (Red, Shocking Pink, and White)
2 skeins of floss
1 1/8 yards of the Valentine print for the napkins

Such pretty fabric and colors! The value of the kits is $16.50, and she is donating 2 kits for this Give-Away. She is so great!
 
So... what do you need to do to enter this lovely Give-Away? Simple. Write a 5,000 word essay on Existentialism in the 21st Century OR choose any or all of the following methods to enter. You get 1 entry for each method.

1] Post a comment here (be sure to fill in your name... nicknames are fine).
2] Link to us through your blog, FaceBook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. Post one additional comment for each link. Make sure to include linking info.
3] Then, head over to Prairie Point Junction, visit Julie's blog HERE, let her know how awesome you think she and Wool Felt Central are, then run back here and tell us you did, and yep, another chance to win!

The contest will run from today, Tuesday, January 19 through Sunday, January 24, at 9:00 p.m. EST when 2 lucky winners will be chosen at random. Winners will announced on Wee Folk Art as soon as winners are determined and will also be notified via email. Winners have 1 week to contact us or another winner will be drawn. Directions for the Valentine Napkins and Heart Napkin Rings can be found HERE or with our FREE Patterns. Good luck to everyone!

BTW... even if you are not interested in making the napkins and napkin rings, the fabrics would make a wonderful addition to your stash! AND, Julie will have additional kits available for anyone interested in purchasing them for themselves or as a special Valentine's Day Gift! Thanks again, Julie!

Counting down the days until Christmas is a tradition shared by many Christian families. Our simple Advent Tree with a star meandering up the tree, will help your family celebrate the season. This is sure to become an heirloom, eliciting memories of Christmases past as the years go by. Merry Christmas to all!

Finished Size: 24" x 28"

This project was our 2009 Holiday Giveaway. Julie, over at Prairie Point Junction, graciously provided kits containing felt, floss and buttons for 2 lucky winners. She also carries fabric and batting for completing the project. Check out her site. It is wonderful!

NOTE ABOUT MATERIALS: I am providing 2 different felt requirements. First, I list amounts actually required for cutting out your pieces. Second, in parentheses, I'll give the yardage if buying from a bolt. This yardage will give you enough fabric to allow for shrinkage, if you are buying wool blend felt, and you want to prewash your fabric to give it a more 100% wool look. I did not wash my fabric. The lines are "crisper" without washing, which is the effect I wanted. Refer to Prairie Point Junction's directions for prewashing wool blended felt if you chose that option. 

I am also giving the name and # of the colors of the felt and embroidery floss I used for making this project. My felt and embroidery floss came from Wool Felt Central over at Prairie Point Junction. The colors refer to National Nonwovens "WoolFelt" and the floss is DMC.

Materials Needed:
Felt:
tree - pea soup WCF0729
18" X 20" (2/3 yard)

snow and star - white WCF1100
8" x 20" AND 4" x 8" (1/3 yard)

background - grandma's garnet TOY0986
20" x 24" (2/3 yard) 

Floss:
1 or 2* skeins white
1 or 2* skeins 221
1 skein 471
(*1 skein of floss JUST barely completed the project. If you waste any thread, add more snowflakes, or decide you want to stitch around the tree, you will want to get 2 skeins of  white and #221 floss.)

Borders:
1/2 yard printed light to medium weight fabric for borders (I bought my fabric from a large chain crafting store. I do not have info on the fabric to share. Julie, at Prairie Point Junction, picked out a few fabrics from her shop that go well with the felt colors I selected, if you are interested.)

Backing:
1 yard backing (You can use the same print as the border. I bought a cheaper solid fabric.)

Batting:
30" x 36" thin batting (cotton, cotton/poly blend, or wool)

Buttons:
25 1" wooden buttons (available at Prairie Point Junction)

Paint:
Acrylic paints for buttons (I used 3 colors. You can paint them all the same or many colors)
Paint for numbers (I used a Sharpie Paint - Metallic Gold, fine point for mine)
Mod Podge for sealing painted buttons

Other:
Disappearing ink fabric marker 
3 round plastic rings for sewing on the back to hang Advent Tree on Wall
Thread in matching colors to buttons, to sew on buttons

Pattern (You will need 1 pattern and 1 stitching guide)
pattern  which will need to be enlarged 325% (See pattern note below.)
-OR-
print the 16 page PDF which has already been enlarged (See pattern note below.)
1 copy stitching guide.(Not used for cut outs but as a guide for stitches used and placement.)

NOTE ABOUT PATTERN: This pattern is based on our Christmas Tree Applique Block. To make the Advent Tree you must enlarge the pattern 325%. There are several ways to do this. First, grid and enlarge design. (Google search for technique) Second, take the pattern to a printer to enlarge. (Note: Use the pattern provided here NOT the Christmas Tree Applique Block. Changes have been made.) There are many large chains that do this. For example: Staples said to bring in a copy of the PDF and ask for them to either "Blow this up to 28 x 40" or "Blow this up 325%". Either will work. It comes out on a plotter and costs about $4. The advantage is the pattern is on one piece of paper. The third option is to print our 16 page pdf. You will need to tape the pages together. Bits of the border edges are missing but you should be able to easily draw in the missing lines... plus it saves you $4! (Note: Each printer is set a little different. If you cannot get the 16 page PDF to line up, you will need to use one of the other 2 methods.)
 

DIRECTIONS (Note: Cutting instructions are given as needed.)

Stitching the Appliqued Tree:

1] Enlarge pattern in one of the above methods. Cut out all the pattern pieces.

2] Cut out felt pieces as follow:

1 - 20" x 24" for background (grandma's garnet)
1 snow bed (white) 
2 stars (white)
1 tree (pea soup)

3] Following the stitching guide, place snow on background. Using 6 strands of white floss, blanket stitch the snow to the background along the upper edge of the snow. Using 3 stands of white floss, sew the remaining 3 sides to the background using a running stitch. This stitch should be about 1/4" from the edges.

4] Place the tree over the snow and background. The base of the tree should be approximately 2" from the bottom edge and centered side to side. Pin in place. Using 6 strands of #471 floss, blanket stitch the tree to the background and snow.

5] Position pattern piece A over tree top. Trace the bottom of pattern piece A on the tree using a disappearing marker. Now, position pattern piece B over the tree, matching sides. Trace the bottom of pattern piece B on the tree using a disappearing marker. This will create your stitching line for the tree's tiers.

6] Using 3 strands of #471 floss, sew along the 2 tier lines using a running stitch.

7] To make the star, sew the 2 pieces of the star together with a blanket stitch using 6 strands of white floss. 

8] To make the button hole: Place your 1" button in the middle of the star. Using a disappearing marker, trace around the button. Draw a straight line with the disappearing marker that bisects the middle of the circle you just drew. Extend the line 1/8" on either edge of the circle.

9] Using very sharp scissors or a razor, cut along the STRAIGHT line. This will be the button hole.

10] Using a running stitch, baste around the button hole, going through both layers of the star. Baste should be about 1/2" away from the opening. Blanket stitch around the entire button hole using 3 strands of white floss with your stitches very close together. Make sure to add a couple of stitches at either end of the buttonhole. Remove basting.

Adding Borders with Mitered Corners:
 
Mitered corners are not an "ish" technique. Straight seams, beginning and ending at the appropriate spot are necessary to turn out a professional looking corner. Mitered corners are not hard, taken step by step, but take the time to be accurate. It is time well spent!

1] Cut 4 border strips: each 4" by the entire width of the fabric. (44")

2] To start, take a border piece. Center the border piece on a long side of the appliqued piece, with right sides together. Pin in place. On the wrong side of the border fabric, make a line even with the edge of the applique piece. Then draw a line 1/2" in from the previous line. Do this to the other end of the border.These will be the starting and stopping points of your seam.

3] Sew your seam. Make sure you do not cross the start and stop line. This is very important. Attach the border on the opposite side in the same fashion.

4] Iron your seams. Normally, when making mitered corners, I iron my seams open. When using felt and a lighter weight material, however, I do not iron the seam open, rather, I let the felt lay flat. Note: Make sure your iron is not too hot or you may shrink the felt.

5] To attach the 2 remaining borders, start by pinning the borders you just sewed on out of your way.

6] Center a border piece on a short side of the appliqued piece, with right sides together. Pin in place. On the wrong side of the border, make a line on both ends of your new strip following the seam line of the previous border. This will be your start and stop lines for stitching. Sew along the seam line and press seam. (It is better to stop 1 stitch before the start and stop pins than go over them, which will cause your corners to pucker.) Iron. Do the same to the other side. All 4 borders will now be attached.

7] It is now time to "square up" your corners. To do this, lay your work on a flat surface. Smooth down your borders. Pin them in place. At this point your border ends will extend beyond a square corner. Following the outside edge of the border, cut off the excess fabric. Flip project over and trim the other side of the corner following the other exposed outside edge of the border.

8] To sew a corner together, remove the pins, turn your work over and separate the two border pieces.

9] Pin the two border ends with right sides together. Make sure you do not catch the applique piece while you pin. Notice how I used a teal colored pin to pin the applique piece out of the way. Draw a line from the outside corner to your stitching line. This is a 45 degree angle. Place pins along this line.

10] Sew along this diagonal line. IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not over sew your stitching line. If you sew even 1 stitch beyond, it will cause your corner to pucker. You are better to stop a stitch short of the stitching line.
11] Trim away excess material. Iron the seam open.
12] If your corner is not perfectly square, lay a straight edge along the seam, and using a rotary cutter, even out the corner. If you did everything right to this point, it should only be a very minor adjustment.

13] You have now mitered a corner. Do the same to the other 3 corners.

Sewing the wall hanging together:

1] Create a sandwich by laying your backing material down first with wrong side up. Now add a piece of thin batting. Finally, place your complete Advent Tree on the top, with the right side showing.
 
2] Trim away excess batting and backing.

3] Carefully remove the top applique piece from the batting and backing. It may be helpful to chose a corner, and put a pin in the backing and another on the applique piece so when it's time to pin the pieces together, you are sure to get the same corners together. This is important because you applique piece may not be a perfect rectangle. (Stuff happens, right?) When you cut out the pieces together, you made the backing, batting and applique piece exactly the same shape. You will want to make sure when you sew them together, you are putting them together in the same way you cut them out. Pin all three layers together with the right sides of the backing and applique piece together and the batting on top. Pin the four sides of the Advent Tree together.

4] Using a 1/2" seam, sew the four sides, leaving a 4" opening on one side.

5] Trim the corners and turn the piece right side out.

6] Iron the seam flat.
7] Using a ladder stitch, sew the opening closed. 


Finishing the Advent Calendar:

1] Following the stitching guide, sew a running stitch on the felt, using 3 strands of floss, 1/4" away from the border seam line. If desired, sew a running stitch on the background, around the tree. (If you do, you will need 2 skeins of #221 floss.) I used white floss on white felt and #221 floss on red felt.

2] Following the stitching guide, French Knot "snow" using 6 strands of white floss, wrapping your needle 6 times. The stitching guide has my placement of the snowflakes, but obviously, add as many or as few flakes as you'd like! (You may chose to do another stitch resembling larger snowflakes. If you do, you will need 2 skeins white floss.)

3] Apply 2 coats of paint to wooden buttons. Allow to dry. NOTE: The fronts of my 1" wooden buttons (The kind available from Prairie Point Junction) are ridged. I chose to use the backside which were flatter.

4] When dry, use a paint marker to number the buttons 1 - 25. NOTE: My buttons have 2 holes. I sewed them on the tree so the holes were on top of one another, not side to side. I painted the numbers on so the "ones" were to the right of the holes and the "tens" were to the left of the holes.

5] After the paints have dried, seal with 1 coat of Mod Podge.  

6] Following the stitching guide, sew buttons to the tree, going through all layers.

7] Finally, turn the Advent Tree over. 1" from the top, and 1" from the side, space 3 plastic rings. Sew them on. (Note: Only sew them to the backing. You do not want this stitching visible on the front.) To hang the Advent Tree, push 3 straight pins in the wall where you would like to hang the Advent Tree, and loop your rings over the pin heads. This should be all you need to support your Advent Tree.

You are now done with the Advent Tree! To use, on December 1, button your star to the  number 25. As each day passes, move your star up the tree, counting down the days to Christmas. Christmas morning your star will be on the number 1 and the top of the tree!
 

Hoping your Christmas is filled with Joy and Peace!

EDIT: The Giveaway is Closed. Thanks to everyone that entered!

My Busha use to say, "If you haven't gotten half your day's work done by 10:30 a.m., you'll never get it all done." Well, it's 10:30 folks, in a metaphorical Christmasy kind of way. So, we are doing an early Christmas Giveaway BECAUSE, you simply can't wait to the day before Christmas to make an Advent Calendar!

Our Advent Tree is yet another variation of our basic Christmas Tree Applique Block. The pattern has been enlarged 325%... sounds crazy, right? Why 325%? I guess that is some industry standard, but there will be more discussion about that in our directions. For the time being suffice to say, the finished Advent Tree is 24" x 28". There are painted wood buttons that meander up the tree. A wool felt star moves its way up the buttons on the tree to count-down the days to Christmas.

NOW... about the Giveaway. We are beyond excited that we are partnering with the awesome folks over at PRAIRIE POINT JUNCTION on the Giveaway. They have graciously provided 2 kits for us to Giveaway. Totally, generous, right? We certainly think so! AND, Julie, at Prairie Point Junction, has put together kits to make additional Advent Trees and a has a lovely little surprise. But more on that in a minute.

There are several ways to enter this Giveaway:
1] Post a comment here (be sure to fill in your name... nicknames are fine).
2] Link to us through your blog, FaceBook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. Post additional comments (one for each link). Make sure to include linking info.
3] Then, head over to Prairie Point Junction, visit their blog, and leave a big, juicy THANK YOU to Julie and her crew, then run back here and tell us you did, and yep, another chance to win!

The contest will run from today, Wednesday, November 4 through Tuesday, November 10, at 9:00 p.m. EST when 2 lucky winners will be chosen at random. After the winners are announced, the directions for the Advent Tree will be available online.

Additionally... if it is possible you haven't been to Prairie Point Junction yet, it's high time you did! Since I discovered them over a year ago, they have been my primary supplier of felt and other supplies. Here's a little bit more about them PLUS yet another kind offer.

Julie at Prairie Point Junction, home of www.woolfeltcentral.com , has put together a kit with the supplies you'll need to make your own Advent Tree. Wool Felt Central stocks 78 colors of National Nonwoven's Wool Felt for all your crafting needs. They also have a wide selection of patterns for penny rugs, pillows, ornaments, faux foods, and anything you can imagine. Wee Folk Art readers can take advantage of a special offer - use coupon code FOLKARTTREE to take 20% off any regular priced order placed through December 26th.

Good luck to one and all. We consider ourselves blessed to have made so many wonderful friends here at Wee Folk Art, and this is our way of sending some Peace, Joy and Love your way this Christmas Season!

Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. You brought a smile to my face and a song to my heart! I didn't realize how hard it would be to decide. There were some very amusing suggestions and some touching ones. After some discussion, we decided that Christie's suggestion of...

May life's simplest blessings be yours this Christmas.

really summed up what we wanted to share this holiday. Christie, please send your snail mail address to weefolkart@yahoo.com and we'll be sending 10 Christmas cards, with your sentiment inside, for you to share.

Also, let me know if you'd like the cards simple... with only the star and snow, or more jazzed up with glitter and decorations.

Again, thanks to everyone that provided suggestions and to everyone else that simply left comments. I do hope everyone enjoys life's simplest blessings this holiday season! 

Back in March 2009 we featured a pattern for Felt Contour Clip Barrettes. I personally love these barrettes and have had some since the 70s... true story! Anyway, I was delighted that the winner of our Birthday Give-Away picked these, because it not only gave me a chance to make some, but to create a few more designs.

So, here is our latest addition to the Contour Barrettes. I have gone back and made a few tweaks to the original directions so if you've made these in the past, you might want to revisit the site. I am including the pattern for our Additional Contour Clip Barrettes HERE, but refer to the original directions for the Contour Clip Barrettes found HERE, for the basics and pictures.

Just a couple notes about these barrettes. All the appliques are done before the fronts and backs are sewn together. When appliqueing remember you will need to blanket stitch the front to the back, so keep the applique stitching away from the edges. Refer to the pattern and pictures below for additional directions and clarification. Enjoy!

The winner of our Happy Birthday Give-Away, chosen at random, is Jules.
 
I am in awe of all you've posted in one year.
Submitted by Jules (not verified) on Tue, 07/28/2009 - 21:07.
I love your contour clip barrette covers, and the models are adorable too!

She picked our Contour Barrettes. Jules will be able to pick 4 pairs of our barrettes which we will make especially for her. Congratulations!

We would like to thank everyone for their comments. It was interesting for us to see which crafts were requested the most. Your comments help direct our future crafting. Hopefully, this coming year we will share many more crafts that you enjoy! 

EDIT: The contest is closed. Thanks for participating!
