Do you like easy projects? If you answered yes to that question, then this post is for you! Really, there is no need for pictures or detailed instructions here. Just cut a piece of fabric to fit.....and frame it. Simple as that. And if you really want to kick it up a notch (a la Emeril), add a monogram. I found a nice bold font I liked on my computer, enlarged it to about 500, printed it, and cut it out.
Easy Peasy Mac N' Cheesy.
Why have I never thought of this before? I have a stack of fabric collecting dust and a boat load of frames lying around...WHY?
This is what I originally did with the photo tray I found on clearance at Target. I think I like it much better with the fabric. Oh, and by the way...my walls look peach in that first picture. Believe me...they are soooooo not! Just bad lighting...and a pitiful photographer. I need to go to camera school.
SERIOUSLY.

Love it with the fabric!
That is great, and can't believe that is just a paper "S".
Looks like so much more.
blessings and thanks for sharing an easy project.

Much like bacon, toille makes everything better.
Super cute!
I love it! So cute. The black and white, the toile, the entire project is FABULOUS!
XOXO

That's beautiful with the toile fabric!
I have lots of pretty fabric stashed away. We're in the process of repainting our kitchen, then will repaint the dining room and living room too. I already have plans for some of that fabric to find its way into embroidery hoops and be hung on the wall. But I like this idea too, especially adding the monogram. Fantastic!

Well that gives me some ideas! I like easy...Thanks! Janell
Great idea! Of course, with toille you can't go wrong!!! It reminds me of the embroidery hoops with fabric in them. Have you seen them? I believe Purl Bee started the trend. Someday I will make them, too.
Love the toile! Looks great!
Love that fabric! That's similar to what I want to do with those crotchet hooks I found. I like the monogram idea a lot!
Can I come with you to photography school? We can sit in the back and pass notes. ;)
LOVE it with the fabric...it looks awesome!
I really need to play with fabric more. We just don't have much to pick from in this town.
I LOVE that frame! It could be empty, and it would be gorgeous! Of course, the nifty monogram really spruces it up. Nice!
I've had to stop making fabric pictures. I ran out of space, and people to give them to. :) But I just bought some really cool fabric and frames, so I might start again!
Love, love, love the toile! I am getting ready to gather supplies for a fabric project coming up soon.
Thanks for your inspiration!
I love toile and this is a great way to incorporate a little into a room. Thanks for a great idea! :)
Great way to start using my 'pile-o-fabric' that I just had to have!
Can I come with you to camera school?
This is such a great idea. We are all knocking ourselves in the head and thinking "Why? Why have we not done this before??"
Thanks for sharing your brilliance!
That looks great. I might try that some time!
I loved my photography classes. :)
Loving this and it just happens to be my initial too!
How fabulous are you!?! Love it!
I do that too!
Great idea! I'm so glad I found your blog. www.satisfiedsole.com
This is such a great project, and I love that fabric! I hope you and your family are having a wonderful 4th!!
However do you cut out those letters? I cut some very simple square letters and it the end product was very "imperfect". I love the beautiful fonts that you use in your projects but don't know how I would cut them out to look good. Do you use special scissors?
What kind of paper did you use to print your letter? Did you use a cardstock? I have my fabric framed... and want to make the word FAMILY... and I'm stuck on what to make the letters out of!! HELP!
I sooo heart toile!! LOVE IT!! No, really love it!! My mother in-law just handed me down some curtains she had made in a khaki and white toile material for my dining room. When we build I plan on making long hanging curtains out of black and white toile!
Fabulous idea with framing the fabric and monogram. I'm so going to try it.
Have a lovely day.
Blessings.

What a cool idea! When I first looked at the pic, I thought it was one of those wood letters. I love the fact that it was just printed from your computer! That's awesome!
