"Bluebird of Happiness" copyright 2018 Michelle L. Palmer

I have written two new punch needle patterns!

One is a free gift~ to thank you for sharing this wonderful

art journey with me! We have reached another milestone with our

Etsy shop and couldn't do it without all of you~

"Woolen Valentine" copyright 2018 Michelle L. Palmer

Our little woolen friend is the free pattern!

All of the pages & directions are here for your private use.

I have my finished heart hanging from a cupboard door handle.

Backed with a coordinating wool.

I used narrow strip of wool, twisted & stitched into place with floss.

The paper pattern with my color choices~

I can't wait to see what colors you design with!

This can be enlarged for a hooked wool piece or applique!

I trimmed my weavers cloth and then snipped the edges as seen above.

Careful to not cut too close to your loops.

With my finished work face down on a plush hand towel~

I steam pressed the weavers cloth to the back.

Loops are protected by the plush towel.

I use tracing paper to make a pattern for the backing.

Trace the heart from the paper pattern to cut your pattern.

You could add a little pocket to hold a note~

You could stitch a sweet message~

Thank you again~

Hope your February is filled with happiness & love!
