Hello!  I'm Elizabeth, the artist behind GinghamTrundle. I grew up sewing and crocheting and crafting, but never found my niche.  Until I found felt.  Then I fell in love.  And that love has grown and grown... and grown.  And now I want to share needle-felted joy with you. 

I was an academic and missionary before finding felt.  But now I weave together faith, community and fiber to tell stories with wool.  Thank you so much for joining me here.

A little background

I started creating with with wool almost 10 years ago. Pretty quickly I realized that I only wanted to do work that would glorify God and bring more of Him into the lives of others.  

So I create. I create to make beautiful and useful things that encourage worship and creativity; and I create to draw you into His presence — to make you stop, think and ultimately look to Him.  

Much of what I do is inspired by my faith, the Bible, and especially the Psalms.  This video shows some older images from my Psalm series.  Many are very old, making this space a sort of retrospective of my art.  I started this project when I had very little experience needle felting, so some of the pieces are less refined.  Yet, I wanted to include them here, as they tell the story of the Psalms and my art:
