Free pattern: Heart and Home hoop art

Bev from Flamingo Toes shares a free pattern for her Heart and Home hoop art. I love this for the sweet design and the pretty stitching, but also because this is the design we used in her embroidery hoop art class at SNAP conference last week. I’ve got my own Heart and Home stitching in process in an embroidery hoop right now. I cannot wait to finish it up to hang on the wall in my dining room!
