HoopLa, Part II

Oh, rats, this makes me mad to have to break this post into two parts, but I didn't know what else to do.

Anyway, here are the remaining photos from the previous post about our HoopLa Saturday.

Here are the Prairie Point Pincushions we made,
each showing our own different tastes.
Lots of BBD fabric here, along with others.

Here is Terri's stitcher's box,
along with the pincushion that everyone pitched in and made for her,
since she couldn't make it Saturday because of a sinus issue.
She was surprised and thrilled with this gift.
P.S.  I told her she must make her round pincushion...
you can't put a square peg into a round hoop.

Here are my unfinished pieces.
I hope to get my stitched piece into the hoop lid this week.

Close up of my hoops (painted badly)
and my pincushion.
Love that Blueberry Crumbcake.

Well, that's all for now (be sure to look at the previous post, since I had to divide them up).
I hope everyone who hasn't finished continues on...these projects were really fun, especially the part of making them with others.

Have fun!!!

  2. Your hoops do NOT look like they were painted badly! They look whitewashed -- that's a cool finish!

  7. I am SO loving this piece! I like how yours is white. It's quite a contrast from the warmth of the natural wood.

  9. What a great idea to work your hoop boxes together. I have just finished mine. I wanted to stitch mine so I could use 5" hoops so had to search for the perfect pattern to use. I chose Brenda Keyes' Grace & Virtue Sampler which I stitched with an HDF silk thread in blue. Please visit my blog to see the finished box - scroll down a bit! http://istitchaholic.blogspot.co.uk
