Dalahäst Felt Rug

Gilly’s friend

Gilly has a little wooden horsey friend…

Tracing

…which we traced onto paper.

Felt

Then we cut out felt pieces…

Embroidery

…and fancied them up a bit.

Lovely!

Perfect for Gilly’s bedroom!

I especially love this post. My little dog’s name is Gilly, and we have horse images all over the place as blessings to four-legged-ness! 🐴🐾🐕

We are so impressed!

This year, Mary and I are having a homespun Christmas. Nothing may be bought except the ingredients for our festive cooking. May we make use of your idea to make a rug for our new, half-carved friend? We hope she will feel up to joining us by Christmas wek and must be welcomed with a gift.

Much love and Christmas greetings,
Roberta Not-Quite-Hitty xxxxxx

fantastic! I just love anything with Dala horses, and the woven heart is a lovely Scandinavian touch.

  We love Dala horses too, and have quite a collection of them…I acquired my first one when I was about three years old!

Beautiful! I love Dala horses. Ever since I was very little I have always wanted to be Swedish!

  I was lucky to grow up with Swedish/Finnish Christmas traditions, and I like to practice them on a tiny scale with the Hittys!
