and it's our lovely boss Hazel's turn to host with a fab theme of...
'Stitch Up'
So we want to see Stitching! Lots of scope for this challenge... you could stitch your Design Papers, use Faux Stitching or Sew something with Felt... it's up to you....really looking forward to seeing all your fab creations!
The two fabrics that I used here frayed a lot... but they kind of give it a shabby chic look? that's my excuse anyway. I forgot to sew the hanging ribbon into the seam and so have tried to make it look pretty with the added button. Hope you like it!
For more details of the Challenge and Prize... hope you can hop on over to the MAWTT Blog where you will also find lots of lovely inspiration from my Teamies!!
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Allsorts - Challenge 178 - 'In Stitches' ends 2nd November 2012
Divas by Design - Challenge 59 - 'Feeling Festive' ends 6th November 2012
Can't believe how the weather has changed while I was ill... all the trees are shedding their leaves now and it's looking quite wintry. Just ordered my Calendars for 2013... it's the beginning of my Christmas Shopping!
Stay warm and snug!
Love and Hugs

I'm so pleased you are feeling a little better sweet Sue - we've all missed you!!
Your little heart is really sweet (you will be giving Pat a run for her money in the creative stakes!)
I can't remember the last time I sewed something!!
I've loved every minute of Downton again, I'm guessing Celebrity Jungle will replace it and thats always good for a laugh!
Hugs Laurie xx

Aw Sue this is so cute, glad your feeling better, hugs Liz xx
These are fabulous and a lovely idea. Love the white stiching on the plad material.
Glad you are feeling better.
Not watched any of the Downton Abbey series yet but taped it all so we can OD on it Boxing Day and the day after as there will no doubt be nothing on over Christmas and my Daughter is home 7th December till Boxing Day early door so it will be something to cheer me up after she has gone back to Sydney.

This looks lovely Sue! :) I love seeing this kind of thing. I made my own pot pourri pouches this way a few years back - just for wardrobes and gift ideas.
It makes a really nice change to see this :)

I think I prefer the ribbon not stitched into the seam. Fabby colours too.
I hope you are starting to feel much better now.

Hi Sue, my goodness it's been ages since I visited - apologies for that !
I'm doing my DT commenting rounds at the mo, but after that I will be back to have a proper catch up on your blog.
Love this decoration and I think it looks perfectly shabby chic. Gorgeous colour!

Hi Sue, glad you're feeling better now.
Love this little project and the frayed edges do give it a fab shabby chic look. Perfect!

Hi Sue,
Glad to hear you're feeling better. This is such a great take on the theme. Very sweet heart. I never do stitching as I don't own a sewing machine...and me holding a needle...only if I really have to! LOL
Hugz,
Sandy
Hi lovely friend, I'm so sorry that I haen't been around for so long! It seems ages since I last have been here on your blog!
Your hearts are fantastic, I love especially the fabric of the little heart on the frst piccie. I need to get some of this one day to make my gorg male cat a triangle neckthing... he will look so cute with it aroundhis neck... he'll hate it to look cute though :o)
Hope you are feeling much much muuuuuch better!
Huggles, Alessandra
Love your heart Sue! the colours are lovely, you even wrote the word Joy. I am making a bag with felt at the moment. It took me over 7 hours today and it's not finished!
Hope you have a lovely week-end.
