Staff Pick
If you are new to punch needling or if you are intermediate and want to stretch your wings a little, Stacie Schaat is the teacher you want. I’m only a little bit experienced at punch-work; I love the challenges in Punched and I appreciate the basics as reminders of how to do this rug work. I especially love her geometric line animals. Her backstory is that when she was in a crafting funk, her husband gave her some rug hooks to see if they would inspire her. (He must be up for an award for being one of the best husbands of all time.) She loved her new craft and was delighted by the new art forms she could create. Punched is concise, personable, and thoroughly inspiring. Recommended By Tracey T., Powells.com
