Christmas Banner

Do you remember this redwork stitchery that I showed earlier this year? I stitched it for the Material Girls Christmas in July swap.



Vicki made it into this cool Christmas banner (which I already have hanging on the wall ... you know I love Christmas decorating!) It reminds me of the banners heralds have hanging from their trumpets in story books. Thanks Vicki. I love it.

I really like the tassel and rusty bells. They look fantastic and will go perfectly with some of my other ornaments.

At Christmas time, we are going to exchange ornaments. They have to fit into a box we all chose at our Christmas in July dinner. I have lots of ideas .... the hard part will be deciding which one to make.
