I am finished with my very first little Friend...

the start of a whole pattern-series of

Punch Needle Folk  

from Notforgotten Farm™

Once again, 

~ her name is Claudia Cluck ~

Claudia is the Head-Hen here at the farm...

she is most helpful with keeping the entire hen house on it's toes 

and will simply not tolerate any mischief from the chicklings.

Claudia is fond of earth worms, but prefers freshly baked cornbread while it is still warm.

On sunny Summer afternoons, 

you can find her taking her beloved dirt bath under the lilac bush on the side of the barn.

{Claudia also sews all of her own dresses from old printed flour-sacks}.

She is a free-standing doll 

... that I designed and created with punch needle embroidery.

I used my Ultra Punch Needle {with Medium tip} ~

Valdani pearl cotton size #8 {doubled} 

and DMC cotton floss {all 6 strands} were used to create her.

 I chose a beautiful floral cotton quilting fabric in blues for her backing...

and stuffed her firmly with clean cotton balls.

 

 {don't let that sweet face fool you into thinking she's just another dumb-cluck}

 I am now working on her best-friend, Roberta...

whom I'll introduce soon ;)

Blessings from the Farm
