I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a nice dinner and a quiet day, just what I needed. I finished one punch needle piece and started another one, so I am enjoying working on that. It is a piece done with the nativity scene, so hopefully I can finish it this weekend.
This piece is a free pattern from The Old Tattered Flag, for use on the Facebook group, The Out of Hand Rughookers Group. She said we could use it for punch, as well as hooking, so I made a punch with mine. I want to take it further, so I have something else I will be doing with it and I have to go in and fill those little gaps that I missed when I was punching. That is what happens when you are tired and finishing the last rows;)
I was being lazy and used my little camera, so not the best quality compared to how it looks in person. I used scraps from my floss box on this piece.
Another piece I started was the spencerian birds, and decided it would make a nice pillow. I added a border that will work for Christmas but also prim enough to use all year. This and the sheep will be aged when they are finished. I am just wondering about adding an edging and what type. I had some old cream cotton lace and it didn't look right, so thinking on it, but needs to get done by next week.
My fur babies enjoyed the holidays too. Moki and Bean, in the spirit of the holiday, shared a meal together:) I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I love your sheep!
Looks great - I really need to try punching. Been enjoying the Bean posts. What a sweetie.
Beautiful finishes!
Both pieces are lovely but Bean and Moki steal the show! It's amazing that they're sharing the same bowl - give them an ear scratch from me.
Awww... Moki and Bean are buds! :-) The little sheep punch is cute! Tattered Flag is favorite of mine! Absolutely love the bird embroidery! I see quite a few folks using chenille or tiny pom poms (aged or not) as trim...
One of these days I am going to break down and try punching, but right now I have too many other projects in the works. But that sheep is calling my name.
Thanks for sharing.
I think that sheepie is my fave of almost all of your punch needle works. Except, of course, the one you did of Tango and Kaylynn for me. Bravo!!
love the sheep punchneedle.
Another wonderful finish!! You are on fire! Love the picture of your fur-buddies!! How sweet that they shared a thanksgiving dinner together!

Great finish on the punch needle. I'd like to pick up the needle but hate to put down the hook :)
Hugs,

LOVE your punchneedle - very pretty!! Glad you had a good holiday, we did too. Lots to be thankful for, including NOT shopping on Friday, lol!
Darling sheep ... and the fur babies ... ever so cute.
I love their shared meal. Very sweet.
The sheep is wonderful, you just may get me punching again.
Wonder how the Spencerian piece would look with tied fabric fringe? I also like it as is.
I like the sheep design you made. I followed the link to the Old Tattered Flag website and notice there are wash boards for sale to be used as mounting boards.
