But then I bought an assortment of embroidery hoops very cheaply.
And then this month's 'Mollie Makes' magazine arrived......with a great idea for using embroidered vintage fabric in a hoop.
Then I saw this on Ebay.....just perfect.....with the embroidery threads as well.
And I was inspired to make this
I so enjoyed making this....such a calm and peaceful pursuit surrounded by threads and fabrics and boxes of buttons and beads.....while watching TV.
And yesterday I couldn't resist these in the hospice charity shop.
I think I may have a new addiction......I've already started the second one!!

Jacky, that's beautiful! I've seen great reviews for that book - you are tempting me now..
looking forward to seeing the next one you make
Oh, that's lovely Jacky. I can see why you enjoyed making it so much. I'm enjoying hand stitching in the evenings too.
Oh my gosh, Jacky, I LOVE what you created. Love the addition of the little doilies and buttons - just so sweet! I have several hoops that were part of my mom's collection. Thanks for the inspiration, and I can't wait to see what else you make!
wow Jacky! This is stunning and such a clever use of materials. I love embroidery. I am itching to get my hoop out now!
It's beautiful, Jacky, and reminds me of embroidery I did as a teenager.
Oh this is beautiful.

Oh, I really like this idea! I love embroidery and haven't done any for ages. Hmm, maybe I'll have to dig some out again now!
