swatch portraits!

Remember this (click here)?!?


We finally finished the "swatch portraits" for our little home! It was a blast and SO easy to make! First we went to a cute little fabric store and chose some designs and colors. We loved going to this little shop! (It was fat quarter heaven!) We didn't want them to be too matchy-matchy and we also loved picking fabrics with a vintage feel.

We also picked up all sizes of sewing hoops....

They are pretty inexpensive and really fun :)

After deciding which fabric should go in what size...we put them together!

And we're really excited about how it turned out!
Our dining room has never looked so fun!
