So, you are interested in punch needling? You probably have searched the internet, the craft stores, maybe even your great-great grandmother’s attic. Obviously, she wasn’t alive when punch needling…
Choose from various sized pieces of monks cloth punch needle fabric. Monks cloth is the most common backing fabric used for punch needle projects. This monks cloth works well with the Oxford and Lavor punch needles (for sale in my shop). The fabric is soft but durable making it easy to punch into when stretched tightly on a frame or hoop. Its durability means that you can pull out your stitches and re-punch your design as needed making it perfect for beginners. It has 12-13 holes per inch and there are no guidelines on this monks cloth so it is ideal if you don't want to fill in the whole background. This monks cloth is 100% cotton and woven in the UK. Due to the loose weave of the fabric the edges are prone to fraying so please handle with care. I recommend finishing the edges by overlocking/serging them or using masking tape. Punch needles pictured are not included and are for illustration only. For larger pieces of monks cloth please check out my other listings.
Back in 2019 I wrote a blog post on ‘which punch needle tool to use’. In the last four years the range of punch needle tools available to buy has broadened hugely and I decided it was time for an update. The rise in popularity of punch needle has meant that there is now a much wider variety of tools to choose from, but with increased choice it can sometimes be harder to pick the right one.Rather than go through every single different punch needle tool available I’m going to give you my recommended highlights. As well as discussing the benefits of each tool I’ll also give you some ideas of what materials are best to be used with them.

Joanne Mooney’s IKEA FLÅDIS planter did its job—aka, holding plants—but it looked pretty bland against the backdrop of her colorful home. She decided to use punch needling to give the seagrass basket a makeover, and the result is somewhere in the neighborhood of a frosted fringe cake combined with ’60s funky shag carpeting. In short: awesome.

Yes, it has been a long time. No excuse, really just life. Once I did decide I really needed to catch up on my posting I had issues getting into my account. It would be so nice if you could just pick up the phone and ask someone but that is not to be. So after many bad words under my breath and a lot of just trying everything I could think of I FINALLY figured out what I needed to do to get into my account. So, here I am, and I'm going to fast forward through all the rug hooking related things that happened over the past few months. First, I did finish my very large kilim runner. Ta Da! Picture is not the best. I took it inside atop a very tall ladder. It is 32" x 79" after all. Second, I attend a fabulous Hook In put on by the Merry Mountain Rug Ruggers in Asheville, NC. They are the best! Met some new hookers and caught up with a lot of old friends. I had a wonderful time and I was awarded Best Original Fine Cut rug in their show for my Beltie. Next, I was off to Ohio to teach the Buckeye Rug Hooking Guild, a great bunch of gals. They were very warm and welcoming and were working on some truly awesome pieces. Sadly, I can't put my hands on any of the pictures I took to show here today. My next adventure was to go hook with my teacher buddies at our annual meet up in Kentucky. Every year we do a different project. This year it was a zentangle. I designed and hooked a small piece for my Grand daughter. When I arrived back from Kentucky I had only a few days to regroup before I was off to our guild's workshop for 3 days. This year we had Vivily Powers come teach. I've known Vivily for a lot of years and know that she loves bright colors and excels at doing crewel jacobean type designs. I've had a chair that has needed a new seat for years and I decided that a Jacobean design would suit it very well. I drew up the design and sent it of to Vivily with some color swatches. I had wool I wanted to use for the background but she did the rest based on the swatches I sent. I think it turned out just lovely. Here's a close up... The last thing to report on is a class I recently finished up teaching at home. I had several students wanting to hook Tish Murphy Santa designs. I scheduled a series of classes and we dove in. I just finished mine up this past week. Here's mine. I did change it a bit from the original design. I wanted a moonlit evening sky. When the gals finish up their Santas I'll get photos to post. Well, I think I'm caught up now. Whew. I will make an effort to post at least once a week from now on, sort of a pre New Years resolution.

This listing is for the rug hooking PATTERN, Friends, carefully drawn by me on primitive linen. This design measures 17 1/2“ x 23“ or 24” x 31 1/2”. All border lines are drawn straight with the weave of the fabric. Borders are approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inches wide and have serged edges. A color photo of hooked rug will be included. This listing is for the pattern only. It’s always a good day when you have friends to hang out with! I hooked the smaller size of this cheerful pattern with strip sizes 6-9. The larger size, of course, can be hooked with wider strips if desired. I gave my sheep a woolly forehead by pulling those loops extra high and at random heights. I also love how the flowers stand out against the dark background. Overall a fun rug to hook! Thank you for visiting my shop, and I am happy for you to contact me with any questions. All CrowCreekFarm patterns are created by me, original, and protected by copyright law. You may use pattern once. Not to be reproduced in any form. Thank you for supporting my small business!

The very first Hook-In for Patty and I was a great success. Craig and Barbara Pearson brought several rugs to show and Patty brought her finished rug that she started at Prairie Rose Rug School. Craig Pearson started hooking a little over a year before his wife Barbara started. They are both the nicest couple. They hook with different size strips, both small cuts, and when they take classes they both take different teachers. Both are what I consider excellent, proficient, hookers. My stitches have improved simply by watching their work. Barb Pearson Hooked and Proddy pillow is beyond adorable! Patty Tyrrell's rug that she started at Prairie Rose Rug School. It just glows! and the church even has a sparkly stained glass window. Craig Pearson was working on this amazing Mola rug. Stunning rug by Barb Pearson. Unbelievably beautiful rug by Craig Pearson. Funky Chickens by Craig Pearson. Barb Pearson's rug in progress. Barb Pearson working on her rug. Carol Messerli, Patty Tyrrell, Kathy Ewing. Mola rug that Craig Pearson is working on. Craig Pearson had so many wonderful stories to tell. It was a great time for all of us and we plan to meet every month. I hope we can interest even more hookers!
