Hoop Art

Living in the country, I have a soft spot in my heart lately for hoop art and needlepoint wall hangings. My grandmother, all her sisters, and my mother (Mister's mother too) all quilt and I have a real appreciation for folk art of all kinds.

These little suckers are perfect for a lonely corner on a bookshelf, in an entryway as a cozy "welcome!" or if you are looking for a little nugget to complete a gallery wall or hallway.

I found both artsy and kitschy in my survey of Etsy's hoop art, and these are the highlights!









I'd encourage you to visit the rest of these shops as well. Many are filled with other adorable fiber art or stitched goodies. And congratulations for defeating another Monday!
