I remember seeing in Liberty's a couple of years ago, fabric displayed in embroidery hoops which I thought was a novel idea. I soon came home and replicated it. You may remember me posting about it.
As my love of hexagons grew, I fancied combining the two. One, I made towards the end of year using various oddments of fabric.
The one I'm currently working on is a little more structured. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't used the white fabric but we'll see what the finished article looks like. The hoop is a big one - 12" in diameter.
It is a cheap way of creating a new hanging item for your wall. If you don't fancy sewing hexagons together you could just display some pretty fabric with some ribbon, alternatively there's lots of lovely wrapping paper around so that could be another use with the hoop.
Have a lovely weekend!

Liberty's always come up with great ideas. I remember when I worked in London in 70's they did some great things with tablecloths - handmade hexagon patchwork ones!
Love your ideas!

I have some embroidery loops and I am thinking on using them just like that. It is a brilliant idea. :)

Lovely- I just love hexagons and this is a lovely way to show them X

Have a delicious day!
I love the fabrics you have in the hoops - and a much better way of appreciating them than having them sitting in a cupboard! I'm psyching myself up to try some hexagon patchwork - it has been on my to do list for ages. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished result.
What a great idea they look amazing ;-)) I might just have to take that idea away ;-)) dee xx
