Trade ReviewI recently received three ebooks to review on wool felt applique, which makes me wonder if it is coming back with vengeance. I figured I better get on the band wagon and review at least one of them. I particularly liked the 14 updated traditional projects in Rebekah's book, which included bed covers, wall hangings and table runners. Her designs are very appealing. There is something in this book for everyone, from beginner to seasoned stitcher. Rebekah has also included instructions on finding and repurposing wool, which is very helpful.
