Paper printout of Prairie rug
I've been meaning to give punchneedle a try since I bought the fine rug for the Heritage from Katie Arthur of Dollhouse Littles. I love doing cross-stitch but it does have its drawbacks for absolute realism in mini. French knot rugs offer the best illusion of rugs in scale, but they are also time consuming. Punchneedle seems to be a good compromise.
For the Brownstone, I need two large area rugs. These will be larger than any of the cross-stitch rugs I've made so far, so I figured they would be a good place to experiment with punchneedle.
I found this beautiful Prairie rug on Mitchell's Interiors and printed it out at 9" x 6" for the living room. This will be the rug I create with punchneedle.
