punch needle witchy sue
 

made this for my little grand...got it framed

looks messy here but pressed and framed it came out cute

that is so cute. I wonder how one would hold up on a quilt. - can you wash needle punch in a washing machine once done?

very cute

I wouldn't do that but maybe gently in a laundry bag

I haven't done any needle punch in a long,long time.This
picture brought back memories of all I die. The little girl
is very cute. Do you do much of this work?

I have do e hundreds of pieces. Mostly ornaments. Simple mindless craft :)

Once your project is done, wipe the back side with white glue (not the washable stuff). The glue secures the thread/yarn and enables the project to be washed. I have needle punched on clothing, purses, slippers, mittens, etc. and all have withstood washing.

thanks. I do the glue but still wasn't sure about washing

yes you can just iron a light weight fusible to the back and you are good to go. I fixed a rabbit and put it on the back of my robe and it has been through a lot of washings over the years and still looks good. the needle punch has held up really well.

Ok so glad to hear this

just pulled this pattern out to share with a friend who also likes to do punch needle and I had forgotten about it//anyone else do punch needle?
