Artist Bio

Welcome, my name is Joni Black and I have been crafting all my life. I was a quilter for 20 years until I discovered rug hooking about 5 years ago and punch needle was soon to follow. I love working with wool in any form. One of my passions is dyeing wool fabric and lately wool threads that I use in my punch needle designs. Many of my designs will incorporate a quilt motif and I consider my style as folk art/primitive. I live on an island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River with my husband of 31 years, my spoiled pooch Roby and our 3 cats. I accept Paypal, personal cheques and international money orders. Make sure you stop by the other wonderful primitive items being offered by the artists on Lemon Poppy Seeds. Thank you for dropping by! Joni I am on holidays for the month of October, see you in November.Thank you.
