When I went to purchase all of the tools and materials the shop owner could see the glazed look in my eyes. I knew I would enjoy it! I knew I could do it! However--- where would I store it all? My studio is small and already filled to the rafters with paints, fabrics, reference material... books, feathers, linens, shells, etc. (you know...) We walked around her charming shop and I saw a finished punch needle piece \u0026amp; fell head over heels for it! I was hooked! ;) The shop owner gathered the materials and sent me off. Two days later I was back at her door with a finished design. She asked me how I did it? I told her, \"I simply painted with threads.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of my designs are very detailed. I try to share how to simplify. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichelle’s pattern you are welcome to choose from are available here on her Etsy shop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/MichellePalmer?ref=shop-header-name\u0026amp;listing_id=1616389324\u0026amp;from_page=listing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michele Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Rug Hooking #1","offer_id":52292748804325,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Deposit Only Session #1","offer_id":52292748837093,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rug Hooking #2","offer_id":52292748869861,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Deposit Only Session #2","offer_id":52292748902629,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mini Punch","offer_id":52292748935397,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"WAIT list Hooking Session #1","offer_id":52292748968165,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"WAIT list Mini Punching","offer_id":52292749000933,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"WAIT list Hooking Session #2","offer_id":52292749033701,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hooking session Balance due","offer_id":52292749066469,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1969\/9349\/files\/IMG_4752.jpg?v=1787915430","url":"https:\/\/searsportrughooking.com\/products\/michele-palmer-workshop-2028","provider":"Searsport Rug Hooking ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
