For my crochet hooks - a development of the wallet design I did the other day. All made in one hooping with velcro fastening. Velcro is the new zip!

2013 challenge - all fabric gleaned from my scraps drawer - design from Cute Cross Stitch. My real challenge was to take Vida and Sue's ideas and combine them into one which could be accomplished totally in the hoop - including the zip and the velcro fas

That old thread has made me realise that it is absolutely ages since we had a challenge - is it time we started thinking out of the box again? Any suggestions by PM please.

Towel hanger development. I've been tweaking this design to fit a "5x7" hoop. I think it would be a good way to use up scraps of cotton fabric from all of those fat quarters we all collect. It will be in DBC shortly.

I've climbed on the hanging towel bandwagon! I've got a thing about symmetry so I put this hanger on the side of the towel. It was made in the hoop (including attching the velcro.) It does look better than my usual method (see second picture!)

Litttle Joe is finished at last. I've spent most of this week tweaking the design and I'm rather pleased with him. The shirt and dungarees are made in the hoop except for the inside leg seam.

This is the lovely gift that Quiltgramma received from her birthday SS. She had a problem posting it herself. She asked me to say how much she likes it and appreciates the time her SS spent on the gift!

A bit of blatant self promotion. (With Veronika's permission) I have set up a shop on Folksy to offer a few of my designs - including the Monkey born out of a partnership with Susan (Rsehorse). I will continue to post simple designs in DBC. The ones o
