Spring Tulips

I couldn't resist buying this beautiful bunch of tulips the other day ... I love these colours together!

Flowers in a Vase - Punch Needle Wall Hanging

Here is my latest wall hanging: 'Flowers in a Vase'.

This wall hanging, is made using a punch needle technique, where each loop is hand punched through the monks cloth backing fabric. It is like painting with fabric and yarn! The fabrics used include re-purposed tweedy wool skirt lengths, and blanket fabric, together with some modern, multi-coloured yarns.

The piece measures approximately 16 1/2 inches in width by 15 3/4 inches high (42 cm in width by 40 cm high).

There is a hanging sleeve on the reverse, together with a hanging dowel.

This piece is available from my Folksy Shop, priced at £100, plus shipping.
