Punchneedle Thread Pictures and Pins 

Have you ever seen these before?  This is an old-time form of embroidery that is worked with a tiny rug hooking, punch-type needle, a fabric base and embroidery floss or a fine perle cotton thread.  It can be done with 1-6 strands of embroidery floss.  I generally work with an over dyed fine perle cotton and/or 3 strands of embroidery floss.  I use a base of imported linen, and sometimes homespun cottons for a backround.  My table-penny rugs are mounted on wool, and the pennies are wool. 
 
I take pride in bringing a Folk Art spin to my original designs, instead of the boring florals that were usually made using this process.   Most of these little treasures can take anywhere from 2 to 10 hours, depending on size. 

I invite you to view and enjoy these little art pieces, and share in the joy that they bring to me!
