GEOMETRIC

SEASONAL

Log Cabin

Inspired by the quilt pattern, Log Cabin, this little piece matches my hooked rug design of the same name. I worked mine through  a wool background fabric, using a pattern on interfacing. 5 x 7 inches

Antique Penny Rug

I saw this antique penny rug and loved the graphic appeal. I adapted the penny rug for hooking and for punch needle. Both projects appeared in the Holiday issue of Create and Decorate 2009. I created this  pin for my winter coat. 3 x 2.25 inches

Wooly Red Birds

My love of grain painting lead me to this project. I painted a Shaker box, and then designed this fraktur-inspired bird pattern to for the top. I worked the design with wool threads from Moon Dance Color Co. and punched it through wool backing.  If you want to use weaver's cloth, you can order it that way, too!

Among the Morning Glories

This humble rooster stands atop his stone pedestal among the winding morning glories. This design was inspired by an antique hooked rug – perhaps you recognize it. I punched this design on wool using overdyed cotton floss. Kits include pattern on interfacing; you choose the wool you want to use as the foundation fabric. 6 x 6 inches

Bird & Clover

This little piece is my adaptation of an antique hooked rug that I absolutely love. The simplicity of the design just sings to my heart. I have hooked it up as a rug and now am happy to offer you the needle punch design, too. This design was featured in the August 2005 issue of Country Marketplace magazine. 3.5 x 2.5 inches

Primitive Flower

I love the simplicity of this design! I was immediately attracted to the antique rug of this pattern when I saw it  in one of my favorite books about antique hooked rugs, and had to develop an adaptation of it for needle punch work. It works up quickly and would lend itself to many color combinations.  3.5 x 3.5 inches

Chicken Heart

Here's a fun needle punch design adapted from an antique hooked rug that I love! I don't know if the old rug had a name, but I call my needle punch version "Chicken Heart." Four corner hearts surround the chicken (or is he a rooster?) Wavy lines frame the design.  2 x 3.5 inches

Fraktur Deer

Here is another design based on one of the old fraktur I love. Deer were a very popular motif in Early American folk art, and this one is simple, but elegant-looking. Very easy to work, with classic folk art stroke work as accents. Two colors worked together to produce a soft, aged color to the deer and background. This design would also look wonderful against a dark background. 5.75 x 4 inches

1898 Primitive

This needle punch design is a miniature version of my ‘1898 Primitive’ pattern for rug hooking. It is an adaptation of an antique American hooked rug. This design is very simple, primitive, and works up very quickly. 3.25 x 2.5 inches

Antique Hearts

This is an adaptation that I designed for punch needle as well as for rug hooking.  This design is my absolute favorite of all the antique hooked rugs I have ever seen. Minimal color, but such a perfect primitive look. 2.75 x 3.75 inches

Circle of Love

I have always admired antique cut-work love tokens. Just such a love token was the inspiration for this adaptation. I worked the design in wool blend threads, then mounted it and framed it with a simple wide frame. 9 inches

1897 Sheep

Here is a familiar antique hooked rug adapted for punch needle. Single-strand needle punch work. Click here to see my adaptation of this same design for rug hooking.  3 x 3 inches
