My First Machine Felted Project

While looking at my old photos I found my very first Embellisher wool felted project I did back in February 1st 2005 just a little over a month from getting my Baby Lock Embellisher for Christmas. I was inspired to make the Red Hat felted block for a dear friend who was just diagnosis with breast cancer and had fallen in love with everything "Red Hat"!! I had NO clue what I was doing but it turned out pretty good. I machine felted the Red Hat on tea dyed muslin and it worked out good. Below is "My Embroidery Hand" that I sent along with it to represent our "Friendship" of many many years. Even back then I could not finish a project without including embroidery and adding a few beads. VBG My Dear Friend is doing well for which I am very thankful.
