Q I absolutely loved the moon phases hoop project, by Maria Diaz, in issue 345 (May 2024). Have you done any other projects like this where there's a central hole between two hoops? I adore the effect!
Lyndsey Birch, via Facebook
AHannah: We’re so pleased you enjoyed this special project, Lyndsey. That being said, you may also like to check out our beautiful blackwork double-hoop pattern that shows the flight cycle of a pretty pink and purple butterfly displayed between 9in and 3in size embroidery hoops. This design is available on our Etsy shop for just £5. When purchased, you'll receive a PDF digital download chart in both colour and black and white, plus instructions with photos on how to make-up this hoop for your home. You can also find another design in our Etsy shop using this fun effect that showcases an autumnal wreath design.

Stocking up
Q Is it possible to buy individual copies of WOXS in the shops rather than having a subscription? If so, which shops stock the mag, please
