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.
So cute! Perfect for the season.
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.
WOW!! It's wonderful and just in plenty of time for Halloween!!

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...
