Friends

I was in need of something Bright and Cheery! This did the trick!

This is a six strand punch. I have to say, I found it very hard on my wrist. The tension punching the needle through the fabric was very resistant. Three strand goes through the fabric like butter, with no pressure on the wrist. So three strand, for me is the way to go, and once you get used to separating the threads it's a breeze.

Friends measures 6" by 9", Punch needle pattern, 6 strand punch. Color coded using only DMC Floss. It can also be enlarged for rug punch or rug hooking, message or email me if you're interested. 

Available now in my Etsy Shop:

Wishing you a Cheery Monday morning,

Summer's trellis

Good afternoon everyone! 

Not sure about your neck of the woods but here in Pittsburgh, It's gorgeous!

Just finished this piece called "Summer's Trellis"

It is a one, two and three strand punch.

With your pattern there is a color code and also how many strands to use. Easy code to follow so don't let that scare you...it's all repeat. I used DMC and Valdani Black in that nice convenient ball, but DMC black would work fine also.

Bye bye Birdie

I spent the weekend needle punching and weeding. It was a very relaxing time. 

I am offering this punch needle design for sale at my etsy shop.

Definitely a fun one to punch with all the color. If you havn't tried punching and are looking for a hobby give it a try it's not an expensive hobby equipment wise,

Have a wonderful day!
