A Hoop Art Collection

Hoop art has been  pretty trendy lately.

People have whole Pinterest boards dedicated to it.  I guess it is because you  can find something to put into a hoop not matter what style your home is.  

It can be as simple as  pretty pieces of fabric hooped up and hung together . . .

. . . or more intricate designs using  stitching, patchwork,  and applique.

I recently picked up a pack of 6 wooden hoops at a thrift shop.  I paid less than $3.00. Obviously the person pricing these coveted items has no idea about their current trendiness!

My plan was to turn at least 3 of these hoops into art for my daughter's bedroom makeover.  

I shared how I made this hoop out of an well-loved piece of clothing  HERE.

For a second hoop I  stitched this Matroyska doll out of some pretty pastel threads. 

Once she was hooped up, I glued on a ruffle of pink crepe paper to add some texture and size to the hoop.  

For a third hoop, I gathered some pink and blue  fabrics . . .

. . . which I turned into hexagons.

I stitched them all together. . .  and 

into the hoop went my pretty, pastel patchwork.

I edged this hoop with a length of delicate lace given to me by my husband's grandmother.  

And up on the wall they went!

Slowly her newly painted walls are filling with some home-made love.  

My daughter loves that so many of the things in her bedroom are "one-of-a-kinds."

Original - just like her!

Sunshine to you all,
