Last week I was pretty busy sewing lots of stock to sell at the sale, but just before that whirlwind of sewing I found some time to make my long awaited hoop art! Turns out I didn't need much time. Hoop art can be super fast to do if you keep the embroidery to a minimum, like I did.
If you remember, a while back I went fabric shopping with a friend and bought some beautiful fabric in shades of blues and greens. My house is full of blues and greens so I had to stick with the decor.
I love these shades of blue. So soft and pretty. I wanted to hang my hoops in my front entrance way and we recently wallpapered one of the walls there with a beautiful bluey green wallpaper. It was hard to find a fabric that matched but the combination of these and the colours around the rest of the house tie in nicely together. All I did was use three hoops (one small and two medium) to display three different fabrics in. I embroidered on one hoop the words "Welcome home." Very sweet and simple. It made the entrance way so much more welcoming and homey. I love it!
