Here is my latest HOOP QUILT project finish. Every time I begin a new HOOP QUILT, I try to think of ways to make each one just little bit unique. This hoop was no different...
This hoop uses Hopscotch fabrics by Jamie Fingal for RJR. They are fun, bright and full of energy. I decided to arrange the HSTs in this pattern to create a star shape. This is the first time I used a star layout (inspired by a hoop my mom made) - and I love the way it came out. The bright and saturated prints look great as star points.
The embellishments I added to this hoop were sparked by the Deconstructed Dandelions print in Cloud (from Hopscotch). I wanted the embroidery to look like the dandelions were being blown away by sweet summer wind. I used colors of DMC floss that coordinated with the HST prints. Cute!
I also couldn't resist photographing this hoop with Hopscotch fabrics on black top pavement. Hopscotch and black top - serious memories of youth!
Keep your eyes peeled - the details on the HOOP QUILT ALONG will be released next week. Come back and see me or follow along on Instagram. Yeah!
