My latest punch needle project is this cute wall h My latest punch needle project is this cute wall hanging. I used a frame rather than hoop for this one and wasn’t happy with the way the fabric loosened as I punched, even though it was well stretched and securely attached. I think maybe a sturdier frame would work better so I might have to get hubby to make one for me. The hobbycraft frame I used for this won’t go to waste though as I have an Autumn project in mind to repurpose it. I’ll get round to putting up a blog post with what I used for this in a day or two but hubby is off at the moment so we are trying to finish off lots of jobs round the house. 
What are you working on at the moment @weehenmoments @andrinathomas @thefudgeitcrafter
