Some Spring Things~~
Hello, I thought I would share a few Spring punch needle finishes today! All of these have been spoken for. The cute bunny above is a design by Donna Munson called, Alexander Rabbit. I did not resize this one. It is punched using Valdani pearl cotton thread. I stitched the punched piece onto some coordinating cotton. I love how he turned out. He is my favorite bunny out of all of the ones I have punched.
The two bunnies above are designs by Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle and Thread. This pattern is called Signs of Spring . So pretty . I had many requests for more of these to be made!! All punched in Valdani cotton thread and stitched onto cotton fabric.
This last one is an embroidery pattern by Lori Brechlin of Notforgotten Farm. I simply just punched it instead of doing the embroidery. I am working on teaching myself embroidery. Lori has a very nice video on her YouTube channel that helps. She also offers lots of cool embroidery patterns in her Etsy shop. You can find them HERE. I have so many of her patterns!!! Love them all!!!!
Well, that 's all I have to share today! I am going to do a little tidying up in the sewing room. I hope to be able to crack open a window or two. It supposed to be nice here today in Southwestern Pa.
Take care,
Jen

Summer at Hollyberry Farm
Hello!! I have been working on some Spring punch needle project, but in between I have become addicted to stitching this project! That house is very big, but I absolutely love it! Almost every cross stitch pattern I fall in love with has a big house in it. I love those Americana swags! This is a pattern by Stacy Nash. I am stitching it using called for threads on 40 count R&R Reproduction Winter's Brew. I have been favoring the 40 count linens lately. Love those tiny stitches. You just need some awesome readers and a really good light. I have like 3 different Ott lights in various locations all over the house. You need good lighting for punch needle too (at least I do)! Lol! I am off to do a little more stitching on this tonight and watch a few movies with my daughter. Take care and try to survive this dreaded time change!!!
