These are so simple yet effective - swatches of Liberty prints hooped up - taken from the Purl bee blog.
Or how about this one;
Love the cute applique hearts - it is a wedding present and the couples name and date of the wedding have been stamped on the fabric - the details can be seen here.
Or perhaps a something more seasonal;
If you search Pinterest or Etsy you will find many more examples.
Anyway it got me thinking that maybe I could make one myself. So yesterday I searched around my crafty stash and dug out an embroidery hoop and some fabric came up with this;
I used a house template found here.
I enjoyed doing this and will definitely have a go at making some more. This is destined for some friends who have recently moved house - I hope they like it.
So what about you - what is inspiring you at the moment?

Ahhh! This is lovely :). I like the idea of hoops too - feels more do-able than a large square of rectangle, somehow! I have so many projects in my head I need to retire. :)
This is great - I have seen them popping up a lot and they look interesting. Your friends will love it.
This post!! Hadn't seen these before, but how lovely are they? And I love how yours turned out :) I know I've got an embroidery hoop or two tucked away somewhere!
How lovely! I've been inspired by an embroidery hoop too this week, but my project isn't finished yet.
I love what you've made, great gift for a new home
Haven't seen these before...your friends will love the one you've made!

I love these too, I have a little pile of hoops I've been collecting but as yet haven't got round to starting.
I think your little house is lovely what a fabulous gift! x
I have seen these before and wondered if you could somehow use patterned paper? Your house is gorgeous and will make a fantastic gift!
