I was itching to add something new to one of my patterns. Something unique. Something that would catch the eye of one of my viewers.
I came up with this cool idea of wrapping the stems around an embroidery hoop and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! It makes the embroidery hoop feel like part of the art, not just the fabric that I embroidered!

I first attempted this 3D stem look with my "self-care" embroidery hoop and it was a hit on social media! This encouraged me to create a pattern that could be used by others.
Because of the current COVID19 pandemic, I decided to create my "Wash Your Hands" pattern. Something comical, yet useful in today's world. A sweet little reminder I will be hanging in my bathroom at home.
Again, I used my 3D stem look to give this embroidery hoop a little extra character.
Because I know not everyone will want to embroider something that says "Wash Your Hands," this pattern also comes with a BLANK TEMPLATE allowing for others to add their own word(s) to the floral pattern and make it their own.
Some other phrases I would love to see in the center of this hoop are:
- love at home
- have courage
- be kind
- love is spoken here
- strong and beautiful
- make today amazing
