Spring has arrived here in Pennsylvania !
I've been working on several
projects, all at once...
'Cleome'
The Cleome is also known as
the 'Spider Flower'.
A combination of Punch Needle
and Wool Applique...
Deep Berries and Plum petals
and a wool panel with buttons,
make a lovely hanging mat.
This design was 'finished' with a
wool backing, a bone ring for hanging
and a hand dyed ribbon.

'Morning Dove'
A simple Fraktur style design,
that I have backed with wool.
I named this design for the Dove
I hear in the 'morning',
outside my window...
The Morning Dove.
The Mourning Dove holds a
special place in Folklore...
For soldiers, to hear or see one,
it meant that no one was around.
Doves are seen as a sign of
Good Luck and Peace.
To learn more about this
Punch Needle Design,
go to...
A Stitching Tip:
When sewing through
multiple layers of fabric,
I use a set of silicon Needle Pullers...
they help firmly grip the needle
and allow me to easily pull the needle
through the fabric.
They are not for 'pushing' the needle,
but they work super well
for providing the grip
needed to pull the needle through.
I purchased my set on Amazon,
in a size Medium/Large.

Have a wonderful creative Spring !
