Valdani variegated Perle Cotton
Choosing colors of Perle Cotton ...
Lavender blooms...
you can't see the individual lavender buds,
until the background is punched.

This is the back of my Punch Needle project.
When I have a lot of little details,
I will leave my Perle Cotton 'tails',
just a little bit longer. The details are
actually easier to punch around, when the 'tail' is longer,
because you can easily hold it back with a finger,
while you punch.

'Sweet Summer' Punch Needle design
There is nothing that says "warm weather"
quite like a lilac in bloom.
This lilac is about 60 years old
and smells so heavenly.
Not to mention that gorgeous color !
