MORE SHOW AND TELL…

Wendy finished her second O’ Christmas Tree…and is planning to open a Christmas Tree lot for next year 🙂 …

and Wendo finished her first (of many) Penny tree…

Linda sent a picture of her wonderful wooly wreath… 

Sharon finished her mini punch needle Three Blooms…

Wendy sent pix of her fun trees created with kits and a class from Old Tattered Flag…

and I finished showbinding my Sailing Ship rug… ready to hang in the summer although I might just have to hang it in the TV room where it can stay year round…

and finally got around to framing the beautiful punch needle that I got from Helen way back when. It has been sitting on my table in my studio waiting for the perfect piece of wool to be used as backing so that I could attach it to the barn wood frame Gord made for me. Well, I auditioned over and over again – thought about a braided edge but did not like the choice of wool strips and finally yesterday, I found the perfect piece of wool. This dates back probably 20+ years to when Gord had a client in Montreal whose company made coats and jackets. I used to buy end of rolls that I used for quilting and applique and hooking – this one was sample squares of beautiful British woollens and I found the perfect piece that incorporated gold, greyed out blues and browns – it went so well with the punch needle but also with the frame. Yeahhhhh – up on the wall it goes …and yes I do have this pattern for mini punch needle!
