For the MJF farmgirl Jubilee I made 2 Banners, one as a gift and the 2nd for myself... well,,, yesterday I had some spare time,, and made another banner using up scraps...

and go figure,,, I forgot to stitch on a couple of yoyos!!!

so now I will head into my sewing room and rummage through my jars of yoyos and find a couple to stitch on...

Grace,
I love that you personalized it! Yo-yos. Yes, because what's not to love about anything made with yo-yos!

Grace, your scrap banners are so fun!! I love how you combine colors and accents with what you have on hand. Do you leave these outside all the time? I am wondering how the rain effects them long term. Here in summertime, we can get rain, sometimes very heavy, every afternoon when the thunderstorms crank up. I would live to make a few new banners like you have done, but I am wondering if a cloth banner could even survive this sort of tropical weather thing. Your thoughts?

Hey Winnie,, I hear ya... This one I have left out and hubby,,, (go figure) turned on the sprinklers... Now it's pretty wrinkled, but so far has held up.
I stenciled the letters, so I ironed them, covered with a thin piece of cotton, hot iron) to set the paint. So far so good.
I probably will iron it the next time I pull our my iron,,, to freshen it up.
Aa for my other fabric banners, I only leave them outside during the day.(& bring indoors before hubby turns on the sprinklers! lol!)

Love the banners you make. Lovely! If I wasn't always keeping up with my animal needs and chores I Might try one. I could work faster---so want to---but old age setting in sure slows me down.

Cute, cute, creative Gracie!

Because of our high altitude sunshine, things get destroyed by the sun more than by anything else. But, I LOVE OUR HIGH ALTITUDE SUNSHINE and COLORADO BLUE SKIES!!

The best part,, they can be made from re-purposed old dresses & shirts evan.. trimed in buttons, lace and yoyos..
they can be stenciled or appliqued... what ever makes you happy.

I will be bringing mine in tonight,, as we are due in some rain over night.

So beautiful! Love your work! What a great idea and I am sure they hold up so much better than the store bought printed ones! Love the personalization. You are so talented, Grace.
