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.
yay! so pretty.
Gorgeous!!
Oh, yum!
Too fun!!! I love those colors!
I agree… there is a whole in the market. Great colors, awesome product. Would still love to make some new slouch boots out of your fabric 🙂
oops, mean “hole”
It would be great if you would offer them in bundled color groups… hint hint 😉
you ARE fabulous! this is exactly what i’ve been looking for! yippee!
off to see more.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! These are wonderful…..can’t wait to get some!
For some reason it looks like extremely yummy eggroll in tons of different colours! They are gorgeous photos, and thanks for sourcing them for us!
I like felt but have always hated the local selection. Yeah for such beautiful colors!!
Gorgeous photos. they WOULD make a great poster–and it would look great in my sewing room. My suggestion: print it and put it in the shop. Yum.
Those rolls look yummy, almost edible 🙂 Gorgeous colours!
Eeek! Anything available as yardage? 🙂
I have some winging its way to me right now! Can’t wait to play with it! Plan to make some of your fabulous pin cusions for Christmas gifts!
awesome…what a great idea.
Oh wow!!! Those colors are gorgeous!!! I am so excited!
can i do a local pick up if i order some? I’ve been dying for cute felt for holiday ornaments!!
finally some good felt! thank you thank you thank you for making these beautiful felts!
i adore the colors – so gorgeous!
Thank you for taking the time to find the proper resources for felt. They are such yummy colors.
what a fantastic idea! i’ll definitely be getting some, and plugging the range on my blog 🙂
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????
Amazing colours!! love the 2nd pic with it all rolled up – stunning!!
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!! 🙂
Wow – nice felt in cool colors. Great job.
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.
I would buy a poster of those pics. I love them. I would display them in my sewing classroom. I love them
WOW, the colour range is beautiful – super beautiful.
Too pretty ! I have always adored felt but it’s so expensive and I never knew what to do with it…
yay ! beautiful colors !!
Super fun! I can just imagine all the fun stuff i could make out of that. MUST get some!
Beautiful!
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.
OMGosh I am loving the colors – nicely done!

Brilliant! So glad to have a good source – awesome colors!!!
love the colors and can’t wait to get some, thank you so much.
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!
Wonderfull!
I in love with those colors
Yes, it’s always hard to find great colors of felt…off to check out your shop now 🙂
Wow. It looks good enough to eat-serious eye candy! Yum! Yum!
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!
Love, love, love the colors
Ok, I’m excited about this because I can never find nice felt in good colors.
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!!!
Oh yeah!!! FINALLY! some colors a gal can work with! Thanks.
Smiles, Karen
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?
How exciting – I have always loved your designs and color combinations and now felt – be still my heart!…..Thanks for doing this….
felt it my favorite!

thanks for the new colors!
I am excited about all these colors and the quality!! Do you know if it is machine washable (for appliques)?
Thank you!
Natalie
love them! the colors are so bright & fun
are these lovely felts free of polyester and other synthetics?? if so, I will be in heaven!! I am just concerned about the word “blend” when used in “wool blend ” thank you!
These are lovely, but I wish there was a quick way of ordering one in each available colour, rather than doing them all individually. Any chance you might do packs of them to mimic the egg rolls you have so beautifully photographed for those of us who are a little lazy!
Does anyone know how much shipping is if you buy only a handful of sheets, like maybe 5 or 6? I hate to pay almost as much for shipping as for the product, and sometimes you don’t know until you go through hte whole buying process. I like to know up front!
thanks

Brilliant! What a great read. That was a good post – informative but not too heavy. Thanks for taking the time out to write it! I think spirituality is really important too, we certainly agree on that point. A leader without spirituality is missing a key element.
Your colors are inspiring. Spring flowers blooming outside – think I’ll make some bloom inside, too! Thanks for more great ideas!
