H E L L O! 

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

 

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 ;)

well 

HELLO there!

 ៚៚៚៚៚៚៚៚៚៚

I am working on this girl now ~

her name is Claudia.

{{ Claudia Cluck is her full name actually. }}

 

...she has been living in my brain now for a while,

and I have finally let her come out to play ~

{ she is very persuasive }

ಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊ

 here she is on my Hookinpunch© gripper frame,

waiting for me to finish my farm chores so I can get back to her!

she will be a stand-alone doll 

~ once she is finished coming to life with my needle and threads.

{threads are Valdani #8 pearl cottons & some DMC 6 strand}

 

then I will bring all of her friends to life too.

{and she has MANY}.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

And, once they are finished, 

I will set about creating their babies!

 FUN FUN!!!!!!
