Punchneedle Penny Series – Fall
Punch your own Punchneedle Pennies all year! Each chartpak comes with the multi-use iron-on transfer and a lovely piece of hand-dyed weaver's cloth by Lakeside Linens & Designs, especially chosen for each design. The designs are also embellished with the wonderful clay buttons from Just Another Button Company; which are readily available from your needlework or quilt retailer. Each is sized to finish around 4'' in diameter so a 6'' hoop will work nicely. Each piece is designed to show off the colored weaver's cloth, but if you prefer a more solid look, you can easily draw a circle around your design (directly onto the fabric with the rest of the transferred design) and fill in with a background color of your choice, perhaps one that blends with the background fabric color. Just be sure to leave some of that lovely background fabric exposed when you finish your piece. Instructions for the seasonal wall hangings shown are included in each chartpak, so collect them all and display them year round! Wools from Weeks Dye Works are used in our models, but many of you can go to your stash and find some great colors to use! Or-mount the pennies on box tops, scrapbook covers, basket toppers - let your imagination take off!  SEPTEMBER - Autumn Breezes It's almost time to tackle all of those leaves in your yard! The background of this design is punched with a variegated Wildflowers thread in a swirling pattern that will remind you of how those leaves can blow all around on those Indian Summer days. The design uses 1- and 3-strand punchneedles and overdyes from Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works.  OCTOBER - Pumpkin House A not-very-spooky house on the hill just in time for the trick-or-treaters! Bright colors from Weeks Dye Works just pop on the “Sugared Ginger” color of weaver's cloth. It looks great on our fall banner, but would also make a very festive ornament or door hanger for the season! 
NOVEMBER - Harvest Hearts November is the traditional month for looking back with gratitude for all our blessings, so this design looks to our hearts and those feelings of gratitude. Rich fall colors of teal, burgundy, aubergine, forest green, and warm golds are favorites this time of year - they just “feel good”. Many blessings to you and yours… |
