Punchneedle

I was chatting with Peg via email & said that I would post some punchneedle. The following are some stitcheries that I did a little while ago. Punchneedles are such a versatile tool as you can use them to fill an entire design, for reverse straight stich, ribbon embroidery and a whole lot more. You'll find that your work progressing quickly with this tool. The stitchery below is a favourite from Christine Books' pre printed collection. Changing the length of the needle creates longer/shorter loops, handy for flower petals.
The couple are done with the reverse straight stitch.

This one I did using ribbon & the large needle.

Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend......I'm off now to pack up for the 'Autumn Gathering'.
Only one more sleep...............can't wait!!!
