My New Banner

Hi, Just had to show you the new 

banner I got from my good friend

Ivonne of The Crackling Crows.

I am still in patriotic mode and 

just not ready to take down 

any of the red, white and blue

decor.

I asked her to make me one

of her wonderful 

"AMERICA" banners.

It just arrived in this mornings

mail and I hung it right up and

took some pics.

This is one of the 

places I love to display the

banners I have from her and I have

many.  It's in our entry way and the

hooks make it easy to change them

with the seasons.

The picture below is from Ivonne's 

blog.  Look how sweet even the 

backs are with the patriotic scrap

paper.  I just love the little details

she adds.

I'll be stitching away this weekend.

Always working on some new idea

that has popped into my head.

Once it comes to life, I'll be sure

to give you a peek.

Happy weekend!

Deborah sent in this picture of her Pride & Glory finish.
Ilove the little star charm she added.

Lovely stitching by both of these girls.  Wonderful job on the finishing too. 

Thank you both for sharing your completed pieces.  I love seeing them.
