Trying the Art of Felting via Beryl Taylor

Recently my daughter Beth tried her hand at felting, an interesting fiber art.  She had watched the latest season of Quilting Arts TV and became fascinated by Beryl Taylor’s machine felting.
Beth doesn’t have a felting machine, so she did hers by using hand felters.  Then she added beading and decorative stitching.
For more details about her felting ventures and more photos, including close-ups, visit her Meandering Threads blog.
What have been your experiences with felting?

Quilting from Scraps

Quilting from Scraps

My daughter, fiber artist Beth A. Mastin,  is forever using up her scraps for her quilting and fabric art projects.  For this quilt, she started with a blue background piece she had put together previously from strips of various shades of blue.
As she dug through one of her bags of scraps, she found other snips and pieces of fabric to create the rest.  The blue portion is postcard size, with a border around to enlarge it.

What have you created from scraps? Large quilts or wall hanging size fabric art?  Or even postcards and inchies?
