I’m so excited! I made it to the final round of One Month To Win It!! Next week the project theme is furniture, and I had a planned project for our home that I know we’ll like – I just hope the voters appreciate it also…
Here’s my entry from Week Three – Banner or Bunting:
Whee! I made it through another week against very stiff competition. I was pretty excited when I learned this week’s theme of banner or bunting. I had planned to do this very project as a Father’s Day gift and it didn’t materialize – One Month To Win It gave me the perfect kick in the pants to get it finished!
My parents live in a coastal community that has recently permitted the use of golf carts on the roads. It’s a quirky kind of place where people name their houses, and now; their golf carts. This nautical banner spells out “The Crab Cart”.
The 9″ square flags were created from ripstop nylon appliqued onto heavy cotton canvas. I then added a 3/8″ grommet in each corner, and used jute twine to string them together. Let me tell you – if you ever need a good forearm workout, try squeezing 22 grommets into place!
I’m happy with how it turned out and it was fun to sew – I hope my parents enjoy it just as much!
