A swag of pretty patchwork hearts with a reminder of one of my favourite Bible verses ...
1 Corinthians 13:13 "And these three things remain: Faith, Hope and Love ... and the greatest of these is love."
I wanted to make a couple of fabric type accessories to dress up our face-lifted hutch and I raided my pretty-but-too-small-to-be-useful fabric box to find some shabby chic fabric scraps, cut out some 2 inch squares, joined them together, played a bit, fiddled a bit, stitched a bit and ... VOILA! :0) Who said those bits of fabric were too small to be useful! :0) Here's the dressed up hutch ...
I love how the pretty colours look against the white. Mission accomplished ... and a finish to add to my sidebar list. Oh ... yes, Joy ... those TWO blue bottles still look very much at home there, but it's OK, cos I'm off to another Antiques and Collectors Fair this weekend at the showgrounds and I'm sure I can find at least ONE more pretty blue bottle to give my friend! :0)
There may be some more stitching happening tomorrow, as I'm going for a drive down the hill to visit my Bestest Buddy Lynette for a play date. After tossing up what mischief we'd get into ... uh ... I mean ... what creative pastime we would indulge in ...we've decided to spend some time stitching, then go out for something yummy for lunch. As any good blogger would, I shall report back soon! :0)
I hope you're all having a fabulous week and have some fun stuff planned for your weekend. I sure have ... but more about that later! :0) Til next time ...
BEAR HUGS!
CHEERS!

Love your finish Kris , well done !
Love what you have done with your 2" squares - you have used considerably less than me, to achieve a great result. Hope to have my project done before the end of Feb?
What a cute idea. They look just lovely against the hutch. You clever girl!

The hutch looked great with its facelift, but it looks fabulous all dressed up! Love your little patchwork swag and your tea cups and china are beautiful sitting on the new-old hutch. Thanks for sharing. Very nice!
Love the little hearts... just perfect... everything looks fantastic...
maybe I have to redo something...at home..:o) I said Maybe...lol...
It looks so cute on your hutch too!
I love little detailed items with verse or quotes....Lovely!
Hi Kris,
I love the swag. Is this your design? If so, I think you should make a pattern for me to purchase off you. I'm sure there'd be plenty of other bloggers interested as well!
Have fun with your play mate.
Hugs,
Anna
Great heart trio, Kris! I agree with Anna that you should share the pattern.
Ooooh what a cute heart swag! The stitchery made it "extra"! I think I have to go into more stitching too, but first priority are a few more UFO's!
i heart your hearts :)
Lovely design Kris - you clever girl you!!
I'm yet to get a Feb OPRAM finished [sigh]. Maybe this weekend...
