Learn how to do wool applique using a blanket stitch to create a delightful stocking ornament perfect for the holidays. 

This project may also be called a penny rug ornament. Penny rugs are a vintage style of Americana craft. Although referred to as penny rugs, originally they were not rugs but were table covers made using wool remnants and simple stitches. They were used as decorative and colorful mats to brighten up the home. In colonial times, continuing until today, making penny rugs was an eco-friendly, economical project that only required a pair of scissors, a pile of felt or wool scraps, a sharp needle, and a spool of thread. 

Participants will leave with a thorough introduction to this timeless craft, a delightful ornament, and the confidence to make more to keep and to give.

Materials Provided: wool felt, embroidery floss, instructions, needle
