The Magpie Nest

PATTERNS

each needle punch pattern is offered with instructions for 6-strand punch on a Cameo Ultra Punch with the height setting of "3" (or sometimes 4). All floss is DMC, or DMC Senso fingerweight in some cases...my thread designs are "large", and range from 5"X7", up to 8"X 10" in some cases...you may enlarge or reduce my patterns, use whatever materials you're comforatable with, alter away, and sell for fun and small profit, as long as you credit me, Megan Wommack, as the designer...

*Christmas Town*
a little book for needleworkers



















... a collection of designs for you to punch, hook, stitch, paint...whatever suits your fancy...and here's the scoop, regarding these little books...a FAQs if you will:this book has 6 pages, plus the cover design...the above 5 pictures/charts? Those are all from the cover design...and then there's little borders, on other pages...and you can "flip and repeat" seperate motifs to suit your fancy...so when folks wonder "how many designs", etc....yeah. No idear. But if you are hideously disappointed upon recieving your little book, we can chat.
I absolutely love little houses tucked in with blankets of snow...snuggled in, cozy~~ that feeling you get, when you wake up in the morning and you can just tell...by the light or something, that it's snowed all night long! And then I immediately begin plotting pots of soup, baked breads...and isn't it fun to go foraging for the necessary supplies...the things we NEED! LOL Like popcorn, hot chocolate, and waxy donuts. And maybe a good movie or 2, a certain shade of floss, should the storm be on its way again...better stock up! OK I digress. But I do enjoy snow days...!
...my vision is that this little book is sort of a group of "puzzles"~~ you may break any element of one design and snap it into another giving you infinite possibilities! (Okay, not exactly infinite...but a BUNCH). Also, there are several borders you may pair up with your own compositions...or, of course, you can work them just as I've presented.
No dollies, these are all charts for punch, hooking, or even penny rug designs with notes and titles in the margins...

*Fear and the Wolf*

*Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is...*~~a German Proverb, that has inspired this bit of folk-ish fancy~~a 4" by 7" Primitive style needle punch pattern~~the rectangle shape is approximate...a bit "sketched" here and there...~~the finished piece has such a primitive feel to it! Can you imagine a hooked rug from this design?! Oh my!! I include a reversed and regular image for you to reduce or enlarge as you wish, a high-quality color photo, and a suggested palette and general instructions~~with this design, you will recieve an enlarged image too...so, a photo plus 2 charts. ...this piece is a bit tricky, but easily simplified. I finished my piece with a neato-mosquito collage...

*Snow Angel*

...I must admit that I am excited to make up a few of these little angel poppets!~~here's one of my best-sellers, pattern AND finished goods, from Holiday 2006:
This sweet gal is easy-peasy to make with just a bit of sewing experience...she is carefully styled after a Colonial silouette, and will be a great addition to your winter decorations...she is quite magical! I the enduring quality of this gal…here in Colorado you could take her out in September and leave her out ‘til late April!! J

*Snow Angel* ends up being a bit over 12” or so…her noggin is punched (front and back) and her arms and legs are made from soft, white, flannel…you could certainly embroider this gal’s face as well and sew her body from wool felt…endless options!

You will receive a paper pattern, very thorough, with 2 high quality photos…
