This Hoop Art Coffee Design combines two of my favorite things: coffee and hoop art. How can you go wrong, right? I created a more hand-drawn feel for this particular coffee design. This free printable pattern is available for you to download for yourself below.

Now that we're heading into spring, I was needing a new coffee design piece for my coffee bar area. Instead of a printable design, I thought Hoop Art Coffee Design would be a nice, cute alternative with lots of fun texture. Grab the free printable pattern for yourself below.

I've been hard at work on this St. Patrick's Day Embroidery Design...it's one of my favorite hoop art pieces, so far. It's very simple, but has a fun, colorful look to it. This entire embroidery design only has two stitches throughout. See the tutorial (and grab the free pattern) for this Free St. Patrick's Day Embroidery Design below.  

Well, hoop-dee-doo and hoop-dee-dee! 
Another hoop piece for you from me. ;) 

All silliness aside, I'm super happy with how this St. Patrick's Day Embroidery Design came out. I had several designs running through my head for a bit, and then after my newsletter freebie from a couple of week's back, I duplicated that concept into embroidery design. See how it came together (and grab the free PDF pattern) below. 

How to Embroider Leaves the Easy Way

Today, I'm sharing how to embroider leaves the easy way...well, at least I'm calling it the easy way. Embroidered leaves have always fascinated me. This method isn't too overly neat and orderly...it leaves a little room for your own interpretation, regarding stitch lengths and shapes. Hope you enjoy this little tutorial for how to embroider leaves...at least, the easiest way I know. 

I feel like leaves are such a big part of embroidered designs...they can anchor and really make smaller floral embroidery pieces work together perfectly. For the longest time (well, relatively speaking, I've only been embroidering for about a year), I would stick to the crazy daisy stitch and change it up for different leaf sizes. The only issue was that all of my leaves were hollow. I played around with lots of filling and satin stitches and kind of married two methods in this tutorial for How to Embroider Leaves the Easy Way. Check it out below.

Spring Embroidery Hoop Art

This Spring Embroidery Hoop Art is my most detailed hoop, yet. I've just started embroidery hoop art about a year ago, and have been working my way up to more difficult pieces. I'm happy with how this one turned out, too. I've included a free pattern and stitch explanations for you below, if you'd like to create this embroidery hoop art for yourself.

Today's Spring Embroidery Hoop Art is actually a part of this month's Thrifty Style Team. All of my friends have shared their own thrifty fun at the end of this post. My contribution of an embroidery hoop is one of my favorite thrifty decor items...embroidery is a relatively inexpensive hobby and I LOVE finding hoops (and floss and fabric, too) at my local thrift stores. This Spring Embroidery Hoop Art is a great embroidery hoop pattern for beginners. In another post, I've also shared a complete tutorial on how to embroider the leaves on this hoop, as well.
