For about a year and a half, Patti Timms has been needle-felting animals. When she saw how adorable a friend’s needle-felted sheep was, she had to try her hand at it. Her themes are birds, dogs, and wildlife. Her favorites pieces she has made so far are her pet dogs.
She is employed fulltime so she does not have a lot of time to devote to it, but when she is not needle-felting, she’s thinking about it. The most difficult part of the process for her is when she’s just beginning a piece. She works at home, everyday when possible, for at least an hour, and enjoys listening to music or the TV while she works. Currently, she’s working on various 4” owls.

Patti will be creating and donating another set of seven 4-inch owls to Hope for Wildlife located in Nova Scotia, for their gift shop. 30 Craft Market has also put her in touch with the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre and she have donated 5 needle-felted turtles for their turtle themed Christmas ornament show.
Patti enjoys talking to other needle felters and she is inspired and amazed by the talented needle-felters who live in and around the Peterborough area. Patti says, “Needle felting is an inexpensive, easily accessible hobby for everyone, I recommend you try it!” You can meet her at 30 Craft Market this Saturday, November 29 at the Peterborough Public Library between 10:30 and 4!
