Patterns on Monk Cloth or Linen are available in my Etsy shop!  

Kits are in the works as well!  You can message to order one!

Remember the wool pockets I made for PHM last week!  I'm working on the wool applique pattern for those which will include all 3 in one pattern!

Now back to work!

Fall and Winter are upon us!

Now that August and September are behind us its time to move on to creating Winter and Christmas wares! 

The weather is finally feeling like Fall with cooler days settling in. 

Preparations for my annual Christmas Home show are under way which will be held December 9, 10, 11 this year.  I've decided to have it a month later which will give me more time to create. 

We have a new grandson due to arrive around the 13th so waiting anxiously to meet him.. its been 6 years since we had a baby in the family! 

Here are a few pictures of punch needle finishes this week and my latest hooked rug. 

I'm not sure what it is about old screen but it always catches my eye!  This little wooded screen made the perfect backing for a rug. 

For all my punching friends.... this is the latest pattern published in the Punch Needle and Primitive Stitchers Fall issue! Thread kits are availabe in my Etsy shop too!

Enjoy your day!!! 

April Offerings on PHM!

My new "treasures" for the PHM April updates!

I stitched a framed sampler using a design by Stacy Nash called "Malabar Farm".

Had some fun with my newest pattern titled "Folk Art Sheep".  I punched,  hooked and appliqued it!   The pattern is available in my Etsy shop for the punch needle size which you can resize to hook or punch until I get patterns written up for both!

Also, offering some new scissor keeps! A fun little wool applique!

Be sure to check out all the artist pages!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Another New Pattern!

It turned out to be a beautiful day here in PA!!! After a day of storms and dreary rain the sun is now out nice and bright! I took the time this morning to finish up another new design for a 3" paper mache box in applique, needlepunch and stitchery!!!

You will receive step by step directions in creating this design in needle punch, stitchery, applique and how to cover the box in fabric as well! The design pictures a sheep and stars on a field of grass. Think of the cute ornaments, framed mini's, pillows and more you could create with it. The pattern includes pictures along with the written directions for covering the box.

It can be purchased right here on my blog with Instant Download....... over there on the left hand side!

Thanks so much and have a great day!!!

A Herd of Sheep!

I'd like to thank Judi for sending me this picture of her sheep collection! She ordered one of my real wool felted sheep a while back and he finally made it to his new home. She said she collected all kinds but I had no idea how many! She had her husband round them up from all areas of the house to pose for this picture. Mine is the dark one in the center front. It is fun to see my "treasures" in a new home!! Thanks again Judi!!!
