Ongoing Hoopla Round 3 - Discussion and Gallery Thread

[RetroGypsy]

This group is so creative! That little owl is so precious, the sunflower is sweet and the dreamcatcher, love the colors!

[amnesia]

Oooh.. some really cool hoops up... I've started thinking that maybe I should make a few hoops for myself with inspiration from these boards...but I'm so much better getting them finished when its for someone else.

I like the bluework owl in particular.  I've been meaning to try blackwork, but all the black has always felt so heavy to me (if that makes any sense).  I like the idea of using blue instead.

SO glad you like the dreamcatcher, Zidisha!  i LOVE variegated floss, so i am so glad the colors matched your decor so well
this was my first time stitching on flannel fabric, and i think i am now HOOKED!!

got home for lunch and found THIS in my mailbox:

thank you Seereeoslee!
attempt at a close-up:


she used all blue variegated thread (which i LOVE) on a fun background!  plus it's a really cool fill stitch (chain stitch?) that must have required ample patience
THANK YOU!!!

I like the sketchy-ness look of the background fabric on that om hoop

I could have sworn I already posted this beauty from Amnesia. I can't believe it's not up here yet.
Baba Yagga's house!

All my best memories of my great gran are of her scaring the pants off my sister and I with stories of the witch Baba Yagga and her terrifying house.

Look at the awesome skull and bone fence!


I love it so, so much!

I received from cursive_queen! She made me a hoop based on a sketch of a character from the webcomic Lackadaisycats.
