KATIE O'HARE

GOOD MORNING BLOG BUDDIES...Here's a little freebie pattern for you.  I've been spending most of my time at home for the last couple of years, ever since I moved my studio to the log cabin.  only out for appointments Dr., Dentist, Vet, Groomer, Hair Cut, Pedicure, etc.  My most frequent outings are to the post office sending orders, and grocery store!  The first category has pretty much been eliminated.  But isn't it the way, I'm itching to go somewhere, anywhere!  Same with touching my face.  It never itched before I was told not to touch it!  Stay safe, stay well, and keep on punchin

PANSY BASKET

GOOD MORNING BLOG BUDDIES...I should be having cataract surgery right now, but it was canceled yesterday.  Obviously it was the right thing to do, but I am anxious to get it over with and who know when that will be...The PANSY BASKET is a good example of do as I say and not as I do!
Any of you have ever been in any of my classes or seen my demonstrations knows I say punch all the small items first and the background last!  Like you all, I ran out of thread (it should be here today) and couldn't wait, so I did the background!  Due to this very stressful time, I'll be doing 2 things for my customers.  First 20% off all patterns & thread kits starting Friday March 20,2020
Second all my designs will be available as downloads.  Stay home.  Stay safe.  Stay well.  Keep on punchin.

ALICE & THE RABBIT

GOOD MORNING Blog Buddies...I'm so please to give you a sneak peek at the Spring Issue of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher.  The free pattern for Alice & The Rabbit is inside...
With the uncertainty surrounding us, and so many events canceled, folks are staying home.  I've noticed an uptick in not only my pattern orders, but my thread kits too.  I'm grateful for the business, but which it was for a happier reason.  Stay safe and Keep on Punchin
