Scrappy

Finish: Made into a pillow. Using linen on the back and on the edges.

I purchased the linen from Joanne Fabrics it is dressmakers linen. The background of the punch matches the linen beautifully. The weavers cloth is the background of the punch, If you order it printed on cloth from my Etsy shop the copyright is printed on the inside of the punch needle so it does not show.

This pattern is perfect for scrap threads, you may choose to make the flowers all different colors. 

The top check is free standing as well as the bottom flower It gives it another dimension.

Now available in my Etsy shop: "SCRAPPY" The pattern with the bottom flower and the check measure 7" high and the width is 9 1/2". The model is punch using a CTR 3 strand needle. It is color coded using DMC & Gentle arts floss. I have also included a conversion for the Gentle Arts to DMC, although I do recommend the Gentle Arts colors for this punch they have a little variation in the floss and the colors are not so pronounced.

Ivy & Lace

Time for a new pattern:

"Ivy & Lace"

This is larger punch measuring 10" by 10". Color coded using DMC only...it is a 2 & 3 strand punch.  It is punched on weavers cloth using a 3 strand CTR needle. 

The rounded curves between the punch and the lacing or scalloping around the outside edge is left unpunched for definition. You may choose to fill it in or not it's up to you.

I choose to do this pattern in my favorite summer colors.

Then mounted it and made a tote for my personal use. The punch pattern is for the punch only and does not include the purse pattern. Sorry, I just sew and design as I go.   

I added polka dots to the inside just for fun!

If you are interested in this pattern head on over to my Etsy shop at: 

briarcottage.

It is only available as a Printed pattern, because of the size. So no download is available. 

If you choose to not have the pattern pre printed on fabric. Please keep in mind that you will have to piece 4 pages together in order to make up this large of an image. I also include a color code for you to follow comprised of DMC floss only. 

Have a great week!  Enjoy,  Kate

All Done

Winter white Is finished,

Turned and ironed the weavers cloth to the back at the very edge of the punch and left about a 1/2 inch hem.  It is then backed with wool Turned the sides to about 1/2 inch, then blanket stitched the punch needle to the wool. Added the beaded pearls by stitching each one separately using a beading needle which is very long and ultra thin. Added my label to the back and it's all ready for next Christmas... I will however leave it out a bit for the winter. 

Enjoy, Kate
