It has been a slow week, Bill is away on a trip and he gave me his bug, before he left.
I have been getting some things done around the house and finally finished my Uncle Sam punch needle. I think I need a new needle, mine has been dropped too many times and either I have a bad needle, or my punching is not up to par, so need to buy a new one.
The design is by Brenda Gervais of Country Stitches. I decided to make it into a flat piece and attached a piece of wool to the back. This way I could put double backed rug tape on it and attach it to my candle holder. After the summer, I can just remove it, without hurting the piece or the wood. It is a great way to redecorate for the different seasons.

Love your new pieces! I had a problem with punching a piece and took my needle all apart inside was a bit of fuzz....took it out and it worked like a charm. Hope you get your's back to working again.
Very pretty Americana pieces. I think your idea on mounting with double stick tape is terrific for changing out designs.
