Oxford Certification Final Project:
"Mockingbirds with Texas Persimmons" by Taryn Kail
When I achieve my Oxford Punch Needle Instructor Certification, I made as my final assignment a 2' x 3' "graduation rug". This is hands-down the largest project I've attempted with 24 different colors of rug yarn using six different punch needle sizes.
