Banner 56"x59"
We will be participating in the Military Show at the War Memorial Auditorium in Ft. Lauderdale this coming Friday, Feb. 10th. We will have a display to represent the First American Volunteer Group, better known as The Flying Tigers, who fought in Burma and China just before the war. I made this banner for our presentation.
Painted all the black first
It’s 56″x59″ made of silky Charmeuse fabric. The writing and picture are all hand painted with fabric paint.
We plan to attend other military shows in the coming months. We hope to see you at one of them!
I am available to make a special banner for your group or organization! If you are interested, email me at

Three toddler tees, embellished with buttons and ribbons
I was organizing my sewing basket the other day and began collecting all the random buttons into a clear zip lock bag. By the time I finished, I had almost a bag full! Most of these were the extra button you always get when you buy clothes that use buttons -blouses for me. Since I had so many different kinds, I decided to use them to embellish 2 of these tee shirts for my granddaughter. On the white one ,I just made a simple design with ribbon and embroidered daisies I had among my stash of notions. I hope you like these designs and try them out for yourself, if you also have a bag full of buttons! (Note: Double stitch and knot each one if you are using it for a child’s tee. You don’t want them to come off!)
Made a bow with ribbon and sewed the button on top.
Found this little embroidered rose in my basket. Used little buttons that color matched.
White tee with black and white gingham ribbon and white and red daisies.
