I love seeing hoop art but I'm quite the beginner, myself. I thought SPRING would be a fun and whimsical theme to get creative with.

And keeping with fun, whimsical and creative...this will be sender's choice anything goes as long as:

1. hoop art in Spring theme

2. some elements are either embroidered or cross-stitched or other hand sewn

Hoops can be wooden(lighter to mail!) or plastic, they can be 6 inches or 4 inches, they can be round or oval(so 4-6 inches give or take). You can keep the hoop plain or decorate it-then all the design and medium is sender's choice. If you want to use a hoop smaller than 4 in you need to make and send two. Your hoop art can be 100% embroidered or any combo of hand sewing and crafting mediums.

I'll include some links for ideas, but have fun!
