State Wide Construction & Remodeling Who knew that our children's favorite felt board games have so many uses!

lisalovesquilts And I thought it was only for poodle skirts and Christmas stockings! Many clever ideas here. I thought the burlap lamp was cute.

aeykelbo Doesn't felt warp when you strain it? Or maybe that's just the cheap stuff....

Tile-Stones Like the felt chairs, but doesn't felt start to bunch up into little balls when it's been sat on / used a lot? Still a neat idea though!

rosiew Would love sources for GREAT quality felt, not the (IMO) junk I see at places like Hobby Lobby. 100% wool preferable. Appreciated, in advance, Rosie

Francesca I have bought higher quality felt and it seemed to handle 'stress' just fine. It was 100% wool. The stuff that you see at craft stores isn't, normally, 100% wool or available in bolts. I make a lovely 'patchwork' rug out of it that lasted for several years. I didn't throw it away or anything but I did lose it, so I don't know if it would last for more than 10 years. :-(

rosiew Francesca, would love to know more about the felt patchwork rug you made. And if you recall, where you bought the felt. Did you further 'felt' it before assembling the rug?

On my second visit I saw the felt cut work table topper. Love it!

Still hoping for shopping referrals for great quality wool felt. And recommended thicknesses. Wish they didn't give them in mm's - strains my brain trying to envision in parts of an inch.

celebrategreen My husband spilled coffee and more on a brand new upholstered chair for which I cannot get more fabric. I've been thinking of how I'm going to recover it. Felt never entered my mind but now it has. Thank you.

Francesca rosiew, I actually bought the 100% wool stuff in Japan from a website and that was in 2001. (I was stationed there in the military and the website was American, there are plenty of websites if you search for them.)

I washed it and dried it (warm water, to make it thicker) and I believe I air dried it. I cut what I got into strips (and had two colors, a navy blue and an off white). Then I laid it on the floor and just wove like crazy. Then I used one of the permanent fabric glues to glue each strip in place. It wasn't the most beautiful rug, but it was fun to make!

A1 City Flowers Its very beautifully arranged.

Hats off to you

rosiew rocoad, I just visited your store website and am enchanted. Also viewed the rave reviews on YELP. This grandmother of ten would so love to be able to take my grand grands shopping there. I've made a note of your phone number.

karelina Love the striped rug! Did you make that, too?
