Dear Rug Hooker,
Take your creativity to vibrant new heights with the Bird of Paradise Punch Needle Pillow Pattern, available exclusively to We Like Rug Hooking Gold Club Members!
Designed by Marinda Stewart, this extraordinary project captures the striking beauty of the iconic bird-of-paradise flower — a bold and tropical motif that bursts with color, energy, and elegance. Originally from South Africa (and the official flower of Los Angeles!), this floral design brings a splash of life-sized drama to any space.
Marinda used raw silk tussah for the background, lending the piece a natural, bark-like texture — a beautiful contrast to the bold embroidery floss tones used for the flower. The pattern calls for a #3 punch needle and hand-dyed variegated floss to create stunning shading, luminous greens, and defined outlines. Every detail — from orange petals to deep blue stamens — is carefully composed to create a vibrant piece of art.
Once punched, the design can be transformed into a striking 14″ x 14″ pillow, or you can enlarge it to craft a statement-making rug or wall art. With expert finishing tips included, this pattern is both accessible and impressive — even for those with minimal sewing experience.
