Arts & Crafts

Sisters Rachel Lawson and Siobhan Watt combined their talents--Siobhan's professional art and design experience and Rachel's needlework expertise--to create these delightful contemporary designs. Punch needle is accessible for everyone, including those with no craft experience. Readers will especially appreciate the fact that it's a perfect way to turn a stash of yarn into practical items. This relaxing craft is presented with clear illustrations, photographs, and step-by-step instructions. Readers will learn the techniques, which tools to combine with particular yarns, and where to source materials--including great ideas for upcycling materials. The 15 one-of-a-kind projects include rugs, plant holders, purses and bags, children's toys, pillows, wall hangings, framed art, and more.
