Felted Flowers

This is a picture of a boiled wool vest that I bought at a thrift shop a year or so ago.  You probably can't see it, but I left the price tag on, $2.96. 
I got carried away with making felted poppies this week, so this vest and the wreath pictured below are the result.  I am now almost out of red roving and will have to switch to another color or buy more roving.
 The wreath pictured below is about nine inches in diameter.  The base is black felt, which I stitched with a blanket stitch and stuffed.
I think it's really attractive and will probably take it to my mother to hang on her door in her retirement home.
Tomorrow my sewing group,  American Sewing Guild meets.  Hope you have a good week.
