The Hoopla Stitching Collection and More...

Hi there Crafty Friends!  Today's post for the PTI release countdown is SO much fun!  We get to share Erin's GENIUS new stitching products.  Recently at a craft retreat, my friend Amy and I chose a felted hoop project for one of our weekends make and takes.  It was so much fun and so very easy.  So these new goodies are amazing!

First off, here is my CAS hoop...

PTIStitchHoop

I used the new Tiny Stitched Alphabet Blocks to make a fun, simple sentiment with black felt and white stitching.  I used the Hoopla Stitched Scallop dies to create the flowers.  I stitched up the bottom to make something that looked like a banner and then I slide them all down tight on the floss and they curled up very easy to make the flower.  I kept some of the stitching holes intact, around the edges and let some of the holes come out. the leaf dies are not stitching dies, but was able to make them look that way by using a piece of a die from the Seasonal Stitching: Holly Dies.

This was so fun and easy to create!

I wanted to share another project from the past (October 2014) to show you just how easy any of the Papertrey Ink Stitching Dies are to use with a hoop.  All you need is a wooden hoop and some muslin to create an adorable gift!  (Seasonal Stitching: Snowman Die)

  7. Love your scallop flowers, Laurie, just so pretty! But I do have a question: when you say you stitched up the "bottom" of the scallops, do you mean the circle part (versus the scalloped part)? In case you can't tell, I'm sewing-challenged :)
