O Christmas Tree

"O Christmas tree"

Hi everyone! I'm hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am popping in to show you my newest folk art design. "O Christmas tree"

This is a Valdani Pearl cotton punch....all the colors are Valdani!  I used #12 but #8 works also in a 3 strand needle. It's a larger piece measuring 5 3/4" wide by 10 1/4" High. If you have the opportunity to stop by my Etsy shop and take a peek, please do! Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/briarcottage

Companion Piece

 This years, "Late Night walk Companion 2"

Good afternoon everyone! 

I'm Popping in to introduce my companion piece to Late night walk.

I have named it "Late night walk companion 2" in hopes that everyone realizes this piece goes together with last year's Christmas punch "Late night walk".

I will be making it into another pillow like the first. It will be a matching set for the couch. Looking forward to this year's holiday Season.

The pieces measures approximately the same 9" x 7 1/2", The background is punched using Moire thread for a heathered look. Moire wool thread adds such a lovely dimension to the piece. I've stayed pretty true to the colors on the first piece...so they match using DMC floss. It is a three strand punch.

A helpful hint: I do suggest you have this piece pre-printed on weavers cloth...the pinecone will be printed shaded to ease the color choices. I have to admit otherwise the pinecone is a little tricky.

Look for the new punch at my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/briarcottage

Enjoy,
