Punchneedle

Punchneedle is a small scale version of rug hooking and very addicting!  Learning time 15 minutes. It's that easy!  It does take a few tries to perfect your technique, but it's a fun process.

Supplies List

• Pattern  (So much fun to pick out!)
• Hoop to fit around your pattern  (Either a hoop with a ridge on the inside or a rug hooking frame will work)
• Punchneedle  (I use Ultra-Punch) http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Punch-Needle-Embroidery-Threader/dp/B00266UH4U/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1330051329&sr=8-21
• Floss  (DMC and Gentle Arts are the brands I use)
• Weavers Cloth  (unless your pattern includes it)

Here are a few books I recommend...

Stuff

Right now I'm in the middle of several projects.  Tonight I'll be working on an applique quilt that I'm fusing for a sample in the shop.  Oh!  I forgot to mention I work at my local quilt shop(tons of fun!)  It's almost like being an intern:)  It helps having a totally amazing boss!   As well as a great co-worker (she's a new quilter) and she pieces better than I do!  If you're ever in Va you have to stop by!  (it's kinda an awesome place to visit)

p.s. I made the green and black quilt;)
