I just released this new whale punch needle pattern in my Etsy shop.
It is called “Whaling Time”.
It reminds me of an antique nautical hooked rug.
It would be a great addition to your nautical beach cottage decor
and goes well with our mermaid and sailboat patterns.
Whaling Time Punch Needle Pattern:

The finished punch needle mat measures about three inches tall and about eight and a half inches long.
It features an old fashioned whaling ship
framed by two beautiful whales.

The project was punched using three strands of DMC and Valdani floss.

The sky, ocean, and whales are all punched with Valdani variegated floss.
I love how Valdani floss gives the water and sky movement.
