The Vortex is Back… and Santa's Stuck!
Dear [FIRSTNAME]
Well, I know Halloween has been and gone, but I've finally finished the Vortex Collection — and I think these quirky characters are far too much fun to save for just one time of year!
With Christmas just around the corner, they're perfect for those hard-to-buy-for people who appreciate something a little different.
And speaking of Christmas… somehow Santa has managed to get himself stuck in the Vortex too! 😂
We've also got some lovely customer creations to share this week, plus a reminder that our 75% OFF Christmas Sale is almost over!
Let's have a look at what's new!
NEW – In the Hoop Vortex Coaster Collection
6 Quirky Designs – 3 Ways to Stitch!
Following the popularity of our FREE Skeleton Vortex Coaster, I had lots of requests for more characters climbing out of the Vortex.
So here they are!
And I didn't stop at coasters!
I think these would make great Christmas gifts for teenagers, gamers or anyone who enjoys something a little quirky.
You could even make a matching Coaster and Can Cooler gift set!

So much inspiration — and Christmas stitching is certainly underway!

Christmas Stitching Has Begun!
Pam has been busy making Christmas gifts for friends, using our Large Patchwork Christmas Tree and ornaments from our FREE 2019 Christmas Gift Set.
I love her colourful patchwork tree and all the different fabric combinations she's used for the ornaments!
Pam says she's managed to use up some of her Christmas fabric stash… “but not much!” 😂
I think we can all relate to that!
Thank you for sharing, Pam. What a lovely collection of handmade Christmas gifts! ❤️

NEW FREEBIE – Who Put Santa in the Vortex?!
Well, you asked for Santa too!
After sharing our original Skeleton Vortex Coaster, I received so many requests for a Santa version.
I couldn't resist giving it a go!
Poor Santa looks like he's trying his hardest to escape the Vortex — hopefully he'll make it out in time for Christmas! 😂
A fun little Christmas project, made completely In the Hoop.
