My Starting Block

Gnome for Hoop Up
Originally uploaded by AlwaysInspired

I'm doing the Hoop Up & Send swap on flickr. It is my first flickr swap and has been fun already. I'll be sending out my plain fabric squares this week to the stitchers in my group. One condition of the swap was you had to do a block first to set the tone of what your theme would be. I decided I needed some gnome goodness! I found this pattern on an etsy shop and thought it would be perfect! I just love him stitched up and I'm so glad I'm keeping him! I don't keep my own stitching very often! Stay tuned for posts about the blocks I get from the other stitchers!
