Tomorrow, I promise to post something entirely unrelated to embroidery hoops or publishing dates, but for now, I have a couple more book-ish links to share.
a plain, ready-to-decorate-in-any-way-you-like embroidery hoop
some washi tape (maybe to help out with the decorating-in-any-way-you-like)
a bundle of embroidery threads
and the actual hoop I stitched for the cover.
Which seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. Your hoop can be something you've made recently or an older project, and it doesn't have to be super-complicated - even if you've used a hoop to frame a favourite scrap of fabric or simple piece of stitching, you can upload and enter. The competition is open until Friday, so you also have a couple of days to whip up something new, if you don't have any hoops in your back catalogue.
Despite what I said earlier about tomorrow's post being altogether non-hoopish, you could definitely adapt the idea into a quick and easy competition entry. Paper pegs fabric hoop, might just = winner.
