~ PPNC Model and shop is Open Today ~

Good Saturday Morning 

Friends & Folk

{how did it get to be Saturday again so fast???}

here is the finished model for the

Feb/Mar/April ~ Primitive Punch Needle Club from Notforgotten Farm™ 

{affectionately a.k.a. the "PPNC"}

I wanted to design something that replicates old rug hooking with different directional techniques ~

so I chose different motifs from several favorite antique rugs that I love and combined them here... 

just a simple, central motif with a nice pop of red 

that helps to bring out all of the more subdued hues in this project.

"Geranium Basket"

 

from the almost 'hit-or-miss' background,

to the purposeful striated border...

 

The backing is a slice of old wool, and the edges were covered 

by whip-stitching on a variegated yarn ~

 the members' kits include:

*pattern/color photo/instructions for placing thread to achieve same look as model.

*weavers cloth

*valdani/dmc threads to punch project

*piece of same yarn shown to finish project
