Hi, I'm Elaine and I run Liberty Lodge Crafts and specialise in Punch Needle Embroidery.
I have been crafting for as long as I can remember and there can't be many things that I haven't tried but I don't have a great deal of patience so want to see results quickly and Punch Needle Embroidery ticks that box perfectly.
I started doing this a few years ago and discovered that I couldn't find any information or equipment easily and the available patterns were all American so starting with a little heart I started designing my own and bought in my own materials and suddenly I had a kit and then a business.
I sell through various channels, usually doing shows and larger crafts fairs and I do television work with a craft shopping channel. I also have an Etsy shop which is where I sell my goods online and ship all over the world from there.
All of the patterns are my own designs and the kits contain everything that you need to complete the design. I have chosen the components for suitability and simplicity and still make every kit up myself
which helps to ensure the quality of the kits and now have a tutorial video to make things even easier to learn this craft.
Although I have been doing this for a few years now I still love what I do, from the initial drawings to a finished kit and then the very satisfying feeling that someone else likes it when it is bought. If you would like to have a go then have a look at my shop. You can find it at
