Mollie Makes Feathered Friends

Mollie Makes Feathered Friends is a collaboration of various needle craft projects all featuring birds of one type or another.

2 out of 10 stars.  There’s some ingenuity in here, but the crafting styles vary widely.  There’s a lot of felting, either sewing felt or wool felting, and a lot of crocheting.  I’m not into either of these particular crafts so the book wasn’t useful for me.  It might, however, be useful to you.  I was also looking for a broader variety of birds.  Like a brown pelican, a fat chicken, a bluebird, a robin, a crow, etc.

2 out of 10 stars.  What happens with a lot of collaborations is that there’s a wide variety of different mediums and crafting types.  This is a very eclectic mix.  I didn’t really like any of the projects.
