Ava ★★★★★

I was skeptical about 52 pages being enough, but every single project pushes the stitch people patterns in a direction I'd never have thought of myself. The florals and motif ideas alone are worth it, and Erika's projects make me want to dig out every hoop I own.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The "beyond the hoop" approach finally got me to use my stitch people patterns for pillows and zipper pouches instead of the same old framed pieces. Erika Cota's projects are clever without being fussy, and I love that it's 52 pages of pure inspiration I can flip through whenever I'm stuck.

Michael A. ★★★★★

The 52 pages here are packed with ideas I’d never have thought to try, and Erika’s floral motifs alone gave me three new projects to start. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to stitch outside the hoop immediately.
