Punh Needl Rug Hooking

Punch Needle Rug Hoeing

An Apple A Day

This sweet little children’s Punch Needle Rug creation came from a drawing by my son Kenneth quite sometime ago.  When sorting through old papers I came across his drawing and decided to make it into a child rug.  It measure about 17 inches by 22 inches, drawn onto 100 percent cotton monks cloth, wool and acrylic blend yarn by Lyons brand. A number 10 Oxford punch needle was used to create the loops.  While this is a simple design it has been a delightful project. 

I have been working on a few new patterns and hopefully they should be ready for your enjoyment.  Don’t forget to watch for other creative idea’s I trying to post once a week to keep the blog interesting and pleasing for those of you who enjoy visiting it.  You will see other types of needlework project as the year progress, I hope you find something to make for a loved one or for yourself. 

Have a wonderful week and may the wind always be at your back.

PUNCH NEEDLE RUG HOOKING

Hello Dear Friends and Neighbors,  Finishing up a few projects and thought you would enjoy this punch needle rug.  The most challenging part was to make the checked pattern square, after a few yarn pullings I finally got the hang of it.  Really not hard if you start punching on the design line keep doing it, don't change the way you started punching. 
You would think after all my years of doing punch needle I would have known better, will looks like this ole sole has more to learn and remember.  Other then that this project went very fast and I love the way it turned out.
I used cotton monks cloth for the backing, and Lions brand heavy wool yarn, this creation turned out so nice I will be using more of there wool yarn.  I call this an Americana Welcome it measure 18" by 22".   It is a design from a rather older style of craft book that was bought sometime ago. 
Last week I started a section for other kinds of Craft projects and will be adding a new project soon.  Trying my had at making a Rag Quilt and will share that with you when it is finished no promise when it will be finished.  In the meantime I am finishing up a pillow that I made and I think you will enjoy it mistakes and all. 
Keep on keeping on and have a magical weekend.
