Miniature punch needle embroidery has been around for a long time. The Egyptians were among the first to use hollow bones from bird’s wings as needles, and the technique has been used throughout the ages to decorate clothing and panels. Today's punch needle embroidery is associated with Russian immigrants belonging to a religious sect called 'The Old Believers'. One of the largest concentrations of 'Old Believers' in the United States is near Portland, OR. In many ways, they are like the Amish.

Russian Punchneedle Embroidery has seen many revivals: for many years, making miniature rugs for doll houses; and, during the 1970's, embellishing clothing. It was during the 1970's that I was first introduced to this art form. Today, quilting and rug hooking designers have once again reintroduced this art to a new generation of needle work enthusiasts. Russian Punchneedle Embroidery will be around for many more generations to come.
