The banners were a wee bit difficult to photograph, but there was some sunshine today here in cold Michigan and I wanted to take the opportunity. I made the banners folding 6 inch squares diagonally, sewing along the edges, adding paper doilies, buttons, and vintage images (Lisa’s Altered Art). I ran ribbon or twine through eyelets to string each piece. Ink the edges with your favorite distress ink colors and hang. Mini safety pins, primas and stamped tags were also added.
I love banners, and I love fairies, so what's not to love here? these are gorgeous!
Those are so pretty! Great idea! ~Lori

what a brilliant piece of work Nancy ! I absolutely love this. x
Hi, Nancy! This is a lovely banner! Thanks for all the tips on how to make one! :-)
Nancy,
WOW! I love the banner. I think I am in love with the banner fad. I hope it sticks around for a long time. I am still working on mine, my friend is moving into her old/new home and I am making her the house banner featured in Somerset. Of Course I'm making my own design, just using the template. I just wish I had more time. Yours is just beautiful.

They are lovely!
Great work. I have seen your work in Sommerset, and just happened on your blog tonight.
These banners are marvelous. It is so nice of you to share your wonderful talent.
LOL Nancy about the "Creepy Attic Art" and small pox! Boys are the BEST aren't they? Yours are so grownup. I can't picture mine like that, but I know that it is just like you said. It goes so fast, but seems just like yesterday.
I love your banners and I am jealous that you know how to sew! I need to learn how, but never seem to get around to it. Have a wonderful weekend sweetie! Love, Jamie
I really love yous banners, have never seen somone like yours!!!
I wonder if you´re selling banners? And if you do… do you send them to Sweden?
You´re welcome to my blog and leave a comment if you are selling or not.

Hi Nancy I just love these gorgeous Banners. Wonderful as always
Nancy,
Being new to making banners I have a question you might be able to answer for me. Is it okay to have only four sections to a banner. I want to use the theme HOME. If four is not a good choice I can add another. Thanks for any help.
