The New Year


Hello all you punchers out there.
This is the first new pattern of the New Year.
"Penguins"

It is a DMC only color coded punch needle pattern, using 1, 2 & 3 strands. 
It measures 6 1/2" wide by 7" high.
Now available in my Cottage Etsy shop:


A little Teaser: 
The second punch needle pattern is a Valentine's pattern, coming soon.
It's on the frame and almost finished...I hope to have it posted and coded by the end of the week.
It is a 3 strand punch, measuring 4 1/4" High by 10 1/2" wide.
The detail work is done using DMC and the background is a lovely Valdani Perle cotton. 
Looking forward to the new year, with many new designs to choose from.



Another project I'm working on is 1 year of stitches.
It's a group of talented ladies, that have committed themselves to stitching a bit of embroidery daily.
It can be one stitch, or many as long as you stitch daily.
I haven't done embroidery in so many years, it sounded like a good idea. The end result will be a surprise. For those of you that would like to follow along, I try and post daily to Instagram.

I am hoping that this year will be a year full of creativity!
Follow along on 2017's journey!

Happy New Year,
Kate

A New Year


Here we are in 2017!
This will be the first pattern of the new year....coming soon!
The Holidays were wonderful, I enjoyed my family and friends with a welcome break.
My hopes are that yours was a special season also!

I want to thank everyone that purchased patterns from me in 2016.  Your kind words likes and comments are overwhelming. The year was a wonderful success. Thank you!
There are many more patterns to come, I would like to work on changing of thread count and the size of needle in one piece..to be worked as if painting with a paint brush! This will give a much more advanced look and feel to the punches. 
Please don't hesitate to approach me with any questions or suggestions for the coming year! 
I do love hearing from you.

If you follow me on Facebook? This years side adventure is 1 year of stitches. (Embroidery) 
Don't worry punching and needle design is still my first love.
It's not to late to join in or you can follow along on Instagram #1yearofstitches.
Happy New Year to you all, 
Kate
