~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Punch Needle Embroidery is achieved using a special hollow needle that has an eye in which to thread wool or cotton floss. This thread is 'punched' onto weaver's cloth, wool or any closely woven fabric that is kept taut on a special hoop or frame. Loops are formed on the 'right' side of the fabric to create a design that's been printed on the 'wrong' side.

Love Birds Punch Needle Butter Paddle

This is one of my favorite items to use to showcase my punchins'!

This antique wooden butter paddle is the perfect place for the warm, rich, wooly colors of the threads. For this butter paddle, I was inspired by the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs that you see on all the barns that dot the countryside. I've needle punched it onto weaver's cloth using quality wool threads in rich prim shades of blue, dark green, gold and maroon and a yummy overdyed thread for the scallop border. As a finishing touch, I've placed a hand twisted wool cording around the piece with that same background color thread. It's signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!]. I've also added a piece of suede cording so you can hang it from a cupboard peg or knob of your choosing.

The butter paddle measures about 8 1/2" tall by 4" wide.
The punched piece measures about 3 1/4" tall by 3 1/2" wide.

NEW Primitive Sampler What-Not Box  

This sweet little box is sure to please any punchin' fan!
What a nice way to keep your secret treasures, buttons or 'what-nots'  for safe keeping.  I've punched this little pillow sampler with wool threads on weaver's cloth using prim shades of red, blue, green, creamy yellow and off white. I gave it a tea and walnut ink bath so it's muted and soft. I've  stitched it onto a piece of burgandy wool felt, lightly stuffed it and blanket stitched it all around.  It's a little puffy in all the right places. It's been stitched to the lid of a papier mache box that's been painted a drab Army green and antiqued

On the inside of the lid you'll find a homespun yo-yo with a cinnamon dough heart button to make the box smell extra yummy. A piece of wool felt has been secured to the box bottom to protect your treasures. The box measures 2 3/4 inches square and is about 2 1/2 inches tall, with the punched pillow on top of the lid.  This box has been signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].  
I hope you like it!

Little Sheep Scissor Fob and Needle Keep

I love to punch up goodies that are not only purdy to look at but are useful too!  The scissor fob  [on the left] features a sweet little sheep punched in ecru and tan wool threads with a Robin's egg blue background. A scallop of a rosy, rusty overdyed wool floss completes the design. It is just the right size to pin onto your shirt so you'll always have your favorite scissors handy. I've blanket stitched two rosy colored wool hearts together so the pin isn't flimsy and floppy when wearing it. I've sewn a sturdy pin to the back of the wool heart and attached a foot long homespun braid with a vintage button and loop to hold your snips. The needle case [on the right] is lined with a matching homespun fabric and a smaller wool felt heart is blanket stitched on the inside for your needles. I've attached a piece of waxed linen as a 'hinge' so it's easy to open and close. Both pieces measure about 2 1/2" wide by about 3" tall. The punched design on the scissor fob measures about 2" by 2 1/2" and the sheep on the needle case is 1 1/4" by 2". They're each signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].
