EMBROIDERY HOOP ART

I have fond memories of my Granny teaching me embroidery when I was a little girl and making my own creations as gifts for my mother and grandmothers.  These days there are updated, modern takes on this "sweet" craft.  I love the minimalist/kitschy edge of the ones shown here.

The one thing that has, for whatever reason, stopped me from making/purchasing/displaying embroidery hoop art is the actual hoop.  It just looks unfinished to me, which is why I was so excited to see this tutorial over on Craftster...


Voila!  No more hoop! (let the embroidery begin...)
