This is the front side...
(Normally rug hookers would consider this the front side but with this design's use of thin stems, it is the back in this case.)
I loved the pattern by AROUNNA KHOUNNORAJ and the wool and wool blend yarns were beautiful to punch with :) I am a fan of the oxford punch needle and think it was much easy and faster than the rug hooking I have tried before. This designer sees this side as the finished but rug hookers would typically use the other side. This design with it's thin stems is easier to see with this thickness of yarn on the "reverse" side from normal. It is hanging in my quilt room enjoying a place of honor among my minis.
This is the February box for https://thecraftersbox.com/ . I have never tried a subscription box before but this one struck me as different as you get a pile o' supplies and a video instruction for something different in the Art world. I am pretty stuck on quilting as my game so it was good to step out and try something new. This is not really an advertisement for them as I am not an affiliate or anything, just a customer -but I was pleased with this box and love the fact that I got to try something new :)
Thanks for joining me today and...
Here is the schedule for today as well as for the rest of the hop, please be sure to visit all these fine folks!!

Looks like you have found a fun way to step out of the quilts-only box and play with other ways to be creative. You did a great job on it!
Oh that looks amazing! I have never done punchneedle but just love the look of it! Great small project!
I'm not able t o work with wool due to allergies, but I just love the look of it in any fiber art work. This is just lovely.
Love it, what a fab project. Might have to try this 💕
You did a lovely job on your needle punch. It's fun to do something different once in awhile.
Looks very interesting. You did a beautiful job with this Kris!
Very nice and unique...great job!
Your project is beautiful. I did a little bit of needle punch many years ago and only on shirts for decoration, but the wool looks amazing. Great project. Thanks for sharing!
Ohhhh this is something I've always wanted to try!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Happy Small Blog Hop!
This is definitely stepping out of the box from quilting, but it's something I've always wanted to do. It's really beautiful, Kris, and it's amazing just like you. You always make me want to do whatever you're doing because you are so creative. Thanks for sharing! Of course, I went and check out those links. LOL
Great project. Glad you enjoyed it, and it looks wonderful.
That looks so pretty, Kris. I love the colors too. It has been years since I’ve done needle punch, but I may need to give it another try.
this is very pretty. I have not done this in a while. now I need to pull my stuff out again. thanks
I love that you stepped out of the quilting box. This is a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing it with us today. Great kick off for this hop.
Great project!I've never tried needle punch before - yours looks wonderful!
I love the leaf design too! I haven't tried this technique, but it looks really pretty. Thanks for sharing.
This is something I've never tried before. It looks fabulous and fun. I might have to step out of my comfort zone.
Great little project - love the fall colors!
It's beautiful. I can see why you chose the reverse side as your front. The stems do look much better. Lovely colours too!!

Lovely project. I love seeing something different.
I've never done punch art....yours is inspiring. :) )
I'd never heard of that program--thanks for bringing it to my attention.
What a great piece! I like the back that's really the front the best. =) What fun to do something a little different.
The Crafter's Box sounds like fun especially getting something new to try each month. Loved you small hooked project. Looks like you're a pro!
I've never done this, but it looks like fun. It's so fun to see a new craft.
It's so fun to try different things. Your project is awesome!
This is beautiful and such a lovely project. My father in law, for some reason, liked to do rug hooking! He was an avid reader, professional musician, teacher and many other things. With little other artistic experience, he somehow "latched" onto rug hooking. This overly conservative man would say with a smile, I'm a hooker you know!" You just gave me such a nice memory.
What a great little. I mean small :), project. Thanks for sharing.
Now that’s a craft I had forgotten about. Nice
Beautiful! I have never tried needlepunch, yet.
Thanks for doing a rug hooker project. I am not at all familiar with that craft but it sure looks interesting. Do you just punch the yarn thru? How does it stay in place?
Sweet little needle punch - don't you love little projects? Fun, then done!
Your project is beautiful! It's been a long time since I've seen rughooking done.
I'm almost afraid to say it, but I think I'd like to try punch needling! What a great craft with so much texture and color! Small projects that are fun are just the best, aren't' they?
What a fun project. It is nice to try something new sometimes. Thanks for the info on the Crafter's Box site. Your needle punch looks as expert as the expert's. Thanks for sharing, Kris ... :) Pat
Oh Kris, that is so awesome!! I have yet to try needle punch. You make me want to give it a shot.
Very pretty! I've never tried needle punch, but maybe someday.
Gorgeous punch work!
Your something new turned out just lovely! Back in the 70’s, my mom subscribed to a craft club and every month they would send something entirely different to make. We would have so much fun. I’d forgotten about that!
beautiful! How long does one of these projects take to do?
Your Punch Needle project turned out beautiful!
Super cute punching. I have not seen that brand punch, will be on the lookout for it.
I have never done a box subscription either! Sounds tempting.
Enjoy your fun, sweet small projects!
Very pretty.
