Thanks to Super Mom - No Cape! we have another Vintage Monday and Stitchery Link Party. This was my attempt at punch needle. It was an OK experience, but I doubt I'll do it again. I didn't make the designs myself, the pattern was stamped onto a piece of cloth. I provided the DMC floss.
Art Nouveau Punch Needle Pillows 12 x 7.5 inches - Punch Needle Designs 8.5 x 3.5 inches
Now - a little surprise. We have about 25 acres in hay, some woods and trails on our 52 acre farm. We try very hard to keep it "wildlife refuge", so we see a LOT of deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, fox, the occasional skunk (yuk), rabbits - we even had some mountain goats in our front yard once. Most likely escapees from someone's farm, but there they were - horns and all.
It's not unusual to see momma does and their fawns. Twins are not that unusual, but look what our trail camera caught a picture of in our back hayfield!!
Momma and Triplets!!

How cute, the triplets. We often had deer in the yard while I was growing up, close enough to spit on if I wanted haha. I used to mimic the sounds they made and thoroughly confused them. :D
ReplyDeleteCute pillows. I have a punchneedle kit but have yet to attempt it.
I haven't tried the punch needle before, love your pillows and the colors you used!, it's amazing to see wild animals, you were so lucky, they're lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes! I know what you mean, I've tried punch needle and really don't see myself doing it again. Look at those sweet deer! :D
ReplyDeleteYour punchneedle embroidery pillows are both so pretty. Punch needle is one thing I haven't tried.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one busy momma dear nursing those triplets!
Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for linking back. Aloha hugs!
