Sew In Love: Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years. -Simone Signoret

Here is my finished project!

I use the vintage pattern figures in my projects, as well as the pattern paper. I've also admired the rag-quilt looking letters, so when I got these wood Say It With Letters "Sew" Letters, I knew I was going to mix up my love for vintage patterns, vintage notions, and some rag quilt styling.

You'll notice that I used the fabrics from our March Feature Kit “Shabby Little Sugar Shoppe” for the border of the letters. (I'll tell you a secret, I love the fabrics so much that I only used them for the border so that I'll have leftovers to use on more projects!!!!)

I covered the MDF letters with the felt letters that were decorated before attaching. More information on this will be available on our forum!

 

I am going to hang this in my craft room tonight!

I'm so excited!!! I hope you are inspired too!

xoxo, with love
