Seasonal Blanket Stitch Banner

March 13, 2013September 15, 2013 ~ lindy

Seasonal items for our home are my favorite. I like to make the background item in this case it is a banner and then switch the smaller seasonal items which in this case is the Shamrocks. Then I can use the banner all year.

Items needed:

Banner: Quilted natural batting cut into 12 pennants mine were 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches, spaced about 2 inches apart and sewn together with 1-2 packages of seam binding (depending on how long you want the ties at the end of the banner) and 12 medium clothes pins.

Shamrocks: Three different fabrics of your choice, green canvas or felt, fusible webbing, embroidery floss, needle and scissors.
