Pumpkin Punch Finished!


Last week I started a punch needle piece for fall and today I finished it. I had to work two days straight, but I got it done. I also got all of the applique done on my wall quilt, now I can quilt it and finish it.

The pumpkin is a pattern by Brenda Gervais called Boo and Jack. It was a lot of punching, the finished size is 7" long and I am a tight puncher. I used DMC for the main colors and valdani for the kitty. I love their black shades. To get the multiple colors, I just grab similar colors and punch in random patterns around the pumpkin. I have a collection of tree branches that I save for projects like this, so I used that instead of a pumpkin top.

I hope you enjoy my newest piece and everyone has a wonderful weekend.

    That is a fabulous piece of work, Debbie! I do love her patterns, though not a big fan of Halloween.

    It must have taken a lot of skeins of floss but it is wonderful.

    Great job. Is it a flat piece? I'd like to make a hooked pumpkin that I can stuff but don't know how to sew the seam (would if it was fabric), do you?

    That is so cute! It's been so long since I have punched, I will have to learn all over again.

    Love thi punkin'! Your punching is very neat. I'm always uncertain as to whether I like the DMC or Valdai 3-strand for punching...
