Happy 235th birthday, USA! We hope everyone has a “blast” celebrating the day. To help, we’ve designed a Firecracker Applique Block! As always, it was designed to fit a 6″ x 6″ block but it can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. The pattern can be found HERE. Enjoy! https://www.weefolkart.com Copyright © Wee …
With the 4th of July just days away, here in the USA, many streets and buildings proudly display our flag and many flag based decorations. Today we are sharing our version of the flag… an applique with lots of "heart" for our nation 🙂 My plan was to turn this into a wooden plaque to hang …
EDIT: This contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone that entered 🙂 Several weeks ago, the very dear Marie, from Soft Earth's World Blog, was a guest blogger on Wee Folk Art. She shared the tutorial on making the Blue Bird of Happiness. It was a wonderful project and Michelle and I were so grateful …
Although it may not seem like it since we still post most weekdays, Michelle and I have been able to direct our attention away from the blog the past few weeks and we've tackled other projects with gusto. Obviously, there has been a decrease in the number of projects we have been sharing, so we are delighted …

Although most of the country seems to be cloudy and moist right now, there is a chance that we will be experiencing sunny days soon. I thought we could all use a little sunshine about now, so here is our latest applique block. As always, it was designed to fit on a 6″ x 6″ …
Just in the knick of time, I finished the last 2 gnomes in our series, Big Gnomes for Little Hands, and was able to take them with me on my trip last week, and give them to The Little Lady. She was quite smitten with them, and spent half her time chewing on their hats …

While I’m off playing with the Little Lady in Wisconsin, Marie, from Soft Earth’s World blog, has graciously become our first guest blogger, for which we are truly grateful. As a wanna be needle felter myself, I look at her designs, both soft sculptured figures and beautiful wool painted tapestry, and I see what I …
Think of this as our “close up” of the Monkey Madness Applique Block. Wouldn’t this look great centered on a bib or a onesie? Blow it up a bit, and put it on your 8 year old’s t-shirt. Blow it up a lot, and make a throw pillow. Shrink it, and make cute Contour Clip Barrettes. …
