My new Granddaughter will be arriving on July 25. Her mommy has picked out a Walmart bedding set called Butterfly Kisses, which is adorable & takes the load off me of making the entire set for the room! Still doing the curtains & some other things, though, including Waxing Moon's Roots & Wings as a Birth Sampler. Butterflies, flowers, hearts - it'll be perfect!
I'm wanting to surprise them w/ a few rugs replicated from the motifs in the bedding set but done in punch needle. I've not done punch needle for 100 years, & not sure what kind of fabric to use as my base. I'm thinking I want something heavy enough to be sturdy - maybe a congress cloth or canvas of some kind? I'm afraid monks cloth will be too thin & light weight. When completed, I plan to paint a rubber backing on it.
Any suggestions on where I can get info on punchneedle rug supplies?
Thanks bunches for any help anyone can give.
