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 and primitive. Double-strand needle punch work. Design measures 3.25 x 2.5 inches and comes mounted and framed in an oak 5 x 7 inch frame.

I thoroughly enjoyed designing and working this pattern. It would lend itself nicely to so many color combinations. Many old fraktur, although now faded, were painted with very vibrant colors that came from the pigments of the earth. So even though I love the dull, muted tones of antique rugs, I work my fraktur needle punch patterns with some of the brighter colors seen in old fraktur designs. Double-strand work. Frame not available.

Measures 5 x 4 inches.

Pot of Posies

Here  is a familiar antique hooked rug adapted for needle punch. I used brighter colors because the piece is so small. I used hand-dyed 100% lambs wool threads from France to do this needle punch work.

Single-strand needle punch work. Measures  3 x 3 inches, mounted for framing in a 5 x 7 inch frame.

I loved this antique hooked rug the minute I saw it online. I first adapted the pattern for hooking and then created a miniature version in needle punch. It is so naive and primitive - and I love the dark colors.

Single strand needlework. Measures 4 x 2.75 inches, mounted to fit a 5 x 3.5 inch frame. Signed and dated.

I created this design for Country Marketplace magazine. Two-strand needlework. Measures 3.75 x 2.5 inches. Mounted with bound edges and wool backing.
