My aunt & uncle moved to Switzerland in a small village with the side door to her art studio, and then the house (front door around the corner) was a double French door. A mass of grapevines around the tops of the doors, and down the sides. But the grapes never matured: they stayed small, and green but not translucent green of grown grapes. Still, the twining vines, and all the leaves were sooo beautiful..

I never really thought of Switzerland, and wine; but driving from Geneva airport north to their village (and occasionally other places) I saw so many vineyards!

So... merino wool felt?! Ooooo, that sounds lovely! And what fun mixing and matching fabric scraps, using beads, and button.
Do you ever by that felt in other colors for any other projects? That's not your average felt, imho. 🙂

TY for sharing!
