Announcing Heather Bailey Felt

This photo could seriously be a poster.  I may have to print it out onto canvas and hang it over my couch. Oh the many uses of felt.

If you haven't stopped by my shop for a while, you may want to take a look through the all-new Designer Felt section. I know how hard it can be to find high-quality felt in good colors.  Most chains only carry the nasty, polyester variety or a handful of muddy colors in wool-blend. I needed a source for great felt and figured you must need a source as well.

I'll be stocking a custom palette of over 3 dozen wool-blend and bamboo felts at the Heather Bailey Store.  I love to embellish projects with felt flowers or use felt to make pincushions and ornaments. These are the felts I use for the leaves & stems in my Fresh Picked Pincushions, in La Fleur Debris scrap flowers and in several upcoming patterns (getting so close now!).

I recommend stocking up on a variety of colors & neutrals to have on hand -- like a box of crayons.  You'll be surprised how many flowers, leaves, stems & whatnots you can make from a small stack of felt.

We'll be changing out the colors occasionally, so check back often to see if there is anything new.  Did I mention how excited I am about this felt?  No more hunting.  And they're nice to look at.

[Stephanie]

great colors! i have always wondered why the fabric stores carry such bad colors. don't they understand there is a huge market for this????

[Faith Hope & a whole lotta Love]

Amazing colours!! love the 2nd pic with it all rolled up - stunning!!

[Jinglebelle]

Heather,
Yeah! Love the colors of your new felt!
I am glad you're carrying the colors you used for your flowers. No more guess work!

I love the felt bundle idea! You really should sell your felt jelly rolls in your shop.
I would love to buy a few bundles!! :)

[sassypriscilla]

Wow - nice felt in cool colors. Great job.

[Sally]

The colors are so pretty. I hate trying to buy wool felt at the fabric store because the colors are always autumnal. That's not really my style. I prefer really bright colors.

[Amber Williams]

I would buy a poster of those pics. I love them. I would display them in my sewing classroom. I love them

[One Crafty Mumma]

WOW, the colour range is beautiful - super beautiful.

[Elise]

Too pretty ! I have always adored felt but it's so expensive and I never knew what to do with it...

[emilie]

yay ! beautiful colors !!

[Melissa]

Super fun! I can just imagine all the fun stuff i could make out of that. MUST get some!

[Davinie]

Beautiful!

[amber]

So cool! It will be nice to have some pretty options! I met you at Material Girls the other day and had you sign my fabric. I'm so excited to stitch that onto my quilt! Thanks for doing that - it was really nice to meet you and see what you've got coming up. Your sketches were amazing! I'm really excited to make Heather Mueller's cover quilt on her Stop, Drop and Roll book using your Pop Garden fabric.

[Knitterella]

Brilliant! So glad to have a good source - awesome colors!!!

[Maria]

love the colors and can't wait to get some, thank you so much.

[Taylored4Baby]

Yay!!! After watching the flower tutorial, I went in search of felt on the weekend. You were right... it's hard to find good stuff. At least I presume so, I didn't actually find any nice ones, had to settle with black and white. I think I can play with them, but really need to get some pinks and greens and yellows... Very excited!

[nissa]

Wonderfull!
I in love with those colors

[andrea]

Yes, it's always hard to find great colors of felt...off to check out your shop now :)

[Randi-Sue]

Wow. It looks good enough to eat-serious eye candy! Yum! Yum!

[Real Estate Makati]

OMG!!! These are very beautiful. I really have so much fun looking at these.

[Joanna]

I'm so excited! You are so very right about the lack of good quality colored felt, at least in my neighborhood! Can't wait to get shopping!

[Cindy]

Love, love, love the colors

[Mia Zucca]

Ok, I'm excited about this because I can never find nice felt in good colors.

[Susan @ pinkportugueseroses]

I 3rd the motion for offering a felt bundle. A great mix of colors.

By the way, your prices are wonderfully reasonable.

Thanks so much!!!

[Mrs. Kwitty]

Oh yeah!!! FINALLY! some colors a gal can work with! Thanks.
Smiles, Karen

[April]

Oooh how pretty :) I've been away from your blog a while, but when my inspiration runs low, I come here to revive it. You've come through again.

That photo would love absolutely fabulous in my craft room. Any chance of selling a print or a few?

[Cheryl Ball]

How exciting - I have always loved your designs and color combinations and now felt - be still my heart!.....Thanks for doing this....
