"In the Hoop"

If you have surfed any of the embroidery websites listed above, you may have seen "In the Hoop" designs for sale. Until this week I never really knew what that meant! They are basically little projects you can do on an embroidery machine (in the hoop) that you might normally do on a sewing machine. Each design comes with step by step instructions (and usually photos or illustrations) to help you with your project. Here is a new In the Hoop design offered by www.embroidery-boutique.com and it's just in time for Valentine's Day! It's a cute little heart pouch which can be filled with candy or anything else you'd like! Very cute! She has an introductory price of $7 also, so this is an inexpensive little project (think loved ones, your children, teachers or kid's classmates).

Rachel also has another In the Hoop design that I'm hoping to try out soon - a cute tooth fairy pillow! Check it out!!
