PUNCH NEEDLE- FINISHED SAMPLERS

FWP originals and other designers whose work portrays that antique look of miniature rug hooking.

I am offering some punch needle samplers that I have done. I love the look of needle punch because they resemble hooked rugs but are worked in a smaller format.

Punch Needle is making a come back from hundreds of years ago. They say that the first punch embroidery was done using the small hollow bones of birds. Today there are many different kinds of needles you can use along with a whole range of threads. I work mostly with hand dyed cotton thread and wool thread.

Hare a Leapin with Antique Eggs

This set was so much fun to make! I started with the punch needle design – which is one of my original designs and decided it needed a little something different to really set it off. So came up with an antique box filled with spring eggs. Hares and eggs to me mean more than Easter – it is the rebirth of life whether it be flowers or little animals – especially after a long winter up here in the North.

The punch needle was done on weaver’s cloth using Valdani’s vintage collection of hand dyed cotton threads and measures 5" x 5". The colors are soft and muted giving the appearance of an old time needlework piece. The best thing about punch needle is - when finished they look like small hooked rugs! It is set on a papier mache box 7-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 3" that has gone through a 6 step antiquing process to make it look old and worn. It was painted using a mustard colour while the inside was antiqued using an old parchment colour. Within the box rests two large eggs and six smaller ones that were also antiqued using the same process as the box. They are painted a shaker blue, a faded pink, a moss green and an antique white. They look like old wooden eggs. They are nestled in authentic prairie grass and sweet Annie. A hang tag comes with the box.

This would look so beautiful as part of your primitive décor.

The price for this box is $77.00 + $9.00 for shipping to a USA location. Insurance is included. All others please request a quote. I do accept PayPal.
