What a neat idea! There are so many beautiful fabrics out there just screaming to be displayed for art's sake and this is an awesome way to do it. It has such a vintage feel to it. Truly awesome.

you are so inspiring! what a great idea for the sewing-shy among us...bravo!

Bravo!

What a brilliant idea!

What a fantastic idea! I love this especially now that my mind is filled with ideas for dressing up my studio! I love the simplicity.

I think they would also work wonderfully for some other fun uses! I will make one as an earring holder to hang in my bedroom--just poke my earring right through! I think I will also make one with a few long strips of ribbon sewn onto it for my daughters hair clips!

Thanks for sharing!

This idea is genius!
Awhile ago I saw a wall of framed decorative papers at Anthropologie and thought that would be really fun to do. But this is much more economical and meaningful for the sewing/fabric obsessed! I love it!

Excellent idea. I can hear cheering from all the abandoned embroidery hoops at Goodwill right now. We're coming to get you, guys! Don't worry!
:-)

That is such a simple and beautiful idea! This would be great for bins full of feedsacks I have - thanks!

So simple and fabulous. I'd considered using hoops to frame my embroidery -- and now I think I will.

Thanks for the inspiration!

What a great idea! I was thinking I may take it even further and paint the hoops fun colors!

I am also wondering if the glue is completely necessary. Without it, you could change out the fabric to fit your mood or the seasons!

thats such a brilliant idea, I am off to buy my embroidery hoops right now!

Thank you so much for such inspiring idea! now you have one gorgeous wall.

absolutely beautiful! I love the bird print.

Place fabric in the hoop, pull taught ---the word is taut

This is FABULOUS - and the good thing, I have some old emb. hoops in my stash of stuff!!!
GREAT TUTORIAL!!!

C'est une idée géniale !

i will really have to make some! great idea!

Years ago... oK eons ago, when I was a new bride I did this instead of art work. I just thought I was brilliant.
Now you prove I was!

Thanks for the giggle =D

love love love!!!

I just made these today and they're really cute.

Thanks for the tutorial!

What a gorgeous photo of such a fabulous idea - now I have a valid excuse for buying more embroidery hoops (and fabrics...heh!)

Dear Purlbee-Team,

We love your work and would like to feature it in the Chinese interior design magazine 'tbjhome' (www.tbjhime.com) - We would need a high resolution picture (at least 1 MB) in jpeg format - we like best the last picture in this blog post.

I am writing this article about the different use of fabric to decorate your home and would appreciate very much your support.
Of course you will be mentioned and the blog and the fabric source (liberty). It will be in our next issue in January. Therfore I would need the picture by Friday, Dec 14.

Thank you and best regards
Susanne Crosetto

Just coming across your blog via Kirtsy and love it. This idea is so cute, thanks for the great idea!

Finally! A creative way of filling that space above my sofa!

This is truly delightful!!! I will do some of these for my sewing room, fabric should be displayed as art, after all fabric is such a beautiful canvas.

I have visited NYC and the store. After seeing these on the wall, I bought some sewing themed fabric there and from other places. I have 8 in variouos sizes scattered across one wall of my sewing room (I'm not good enough yet to call it a studio). Thanks for the great idea. I can't wait to get back to NYC to visit the store again.

I'd love to feature this idea on my blog. May I have your permission? Thank you!

Maravilhosos.....
adorei esta idéia..
