Punch Needle...Watermelon Run
**CLICK ON IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS**...This new pattern of mine was a very big challenge. I wanted to take a design, inspired by vintage postcards, and make it into something that might fit on a rolling cart. I even went to the grocery store to study the bins of watermelons to figure out how I wanted to punch up the sides of the watermelon car! There is a funny cast of characters that I like to use in my Halloween themed designs and cats, jacks, and owls are a favorite of mine. The punched piece has been made into a small pillow that can sit on the rolling cart or be removed to be used in another setting, if desired. The cart has rusty wheels and a pull string. The cart measures about 8" x 3 1/4". I may never punch another one of these...it took some time to work out the design and to punch. I am kindly asking 125.00, plus postage for this unique piece. I gladly accept paypal and personal checks. Please email mommadonnatx@gmail.com to make a purchase. Thanks for your interest in my punch needle designs!
