Punch Needle..."Cardinal Song"
**CLICK IMAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS**...I punched my design, called "Cardinal Morning", using soft Valdani and DMC thread colors and attached it to an old, chippy painted finial. It has been lightly stuffed with polyfil and backed using a piece of 100% wool the same color as the tied strip at the top of the finial. The entire piece measures roughly 8 3/4"H x 3 3/4"W. I am kindly asking 69.00, plus postage for this handmade item. I gladly accept paypal or cashier's checks. Please email mommadonnatx@gmail.com to make a purchase.
