omg, the cat! love it, thanks for sharing this fantastic lesson :)

I just wanted to let you know my husband gave me this great tool for cutting circles. It's from Olfay. They can be found in any fabric store and very inexpensive. It cuts a perfect circle from small to large. Better than hand cut. All the circle are all even in size. I just love it, save my hand from hand cutting all the circles.

Not sure if someone else commented with this same comment, but if you draw your circles on the back side of the freezer paper, the side of the paper that is not shiny, before you iron it onto the fabric. Then iron the paper on the unshiny side of the paper to your fabric, you will get a much better pattern to use, than if you mark on your fabric. Once you cut the pieces apart, peel the paper off your fabric, you can reuse the paper many times. If you iron on the fabric like you did, you might get your iron on the shiny paper, and that would not be good for the iron. You would then have to clean your iron. Just thought this would be helpful to those who have never used freezer paper before.

Hi Morning Glory, thanks so very much for subbing ! And I am glad you enjoyed the video!!!! Happy New year!

Penny circles make penny rugs because back in pioneer times when people made their own clothes, the women kept all of the scraps, no matter how small, they would use pennies and other coins as templates to trace and cut out the circles and when they had enough “penny circles” they would sew them together to make a rug, wall hanging, or table runner. I love them and want to make my own!

Hi Lilac! I have a bunch of wool I just came across while packing and moving, I'm going to be listing it in my Etsy shop as soon as I am able. Maybe follow me there... it's under recycled parts 4 art. Thanks for watching! I love little bits of hand stitiching!

You are killin' me girl!! First with the yo-yos and now with these!! And I have felt...ermegerd!!! OMGoodness, I LOL at your slip...yours is Betty, mine is Fred!! Crack me up!! This looks very similar to a "blanket sticth" which I just learned and had fun using on some tags recently. Lovin' the paper clip idea as well!! Great video my dear sister :) Much love to you

That's what happens when I binge watch your channel, I start talking like you do.... Fred? I said, what? LOL I saw your tag video and LOVE it! It's the blanket stitch and the buttonhole stitch, just about the same thing. One is done in the center of something (button) and the other is done along an edge. Thanks so much for watching!!! OX

Hi! Love your channel. The circles are actually called “ pennies”. I call mine “ coins” because I make several sizes...but traditionally, all sizes are called,pennies.

I bought a sizzix die called “Penny Rug Circles and Tongues” which eliminates all of the “freezer paper” process.....it’s great!

Jeri, I really love this idea and plan on adding it to my already full craft projects. LOL But , I do have a question. Why do you iron the felt to the freezer paper? Can you make them without it? Thanks for all the awesome videos you make. I always have fun watching them.

@JeriBellini

Hi Debbie, I just iron it to the freezer paper to make it easier to draw a circle on it, it stiffens/stabilizes the wool a bit, but no, you do not have to do that if you don't want to. Try one without and see if it gives you a nice circle. Thanks so much for watching my vids!!! I do appreciate you lots! OX

What size circles

@JeriBellini

The circles can be whatever sizes you like. My largest one is approx 2 inches, then 1 1/2 inches and the smallest is about 3/4 inch. I sell already cut out circles and other shapes in my Etsy Shop if you're interested take a look. ShopAtTheLittleHouse. www.etsy.com/shop/shopAtTheLittleHouse

Hi Jeri, I am interested in learning how to make penny circles. Would you have some felted wool in hues of purples and royal blues (solids, prints, whatever you have that you are downsizing!) that you could add to Etsy for me? Since this is my first attempt, I don't need a very large quantity.

Actually they are called WOOL PENNIES. Typically they were cut from non useable wool clothing.
