Bunting & More Bunting. . . . .

Well, it's certainly been quite awhile since I've updated this blog, 
but initially, I set this blog to view any craft/sewing projects I managed to do.
But, my love of nature etc did creep in & eventually start to dominate.
This was one reason for not adding onto this post.

But, once again, with recent  projects, 
I have a post that relates to what this blog was intended for.

I had  a request recently to make
 personalised bunting for two sisters.
Initially, I did feel daunted 
at the thought of adding lettering,
 something I've never done before.
With some patience, I managed to complete this project.
Stitching the lettering was a bit tricky in places, 
but I was certainly please with the results.

                                 




I couldn't resist making some bunting 
for my own use,
 when I discovered some 
beautiful ribbons relating to a British feel,
 ideal to put to use with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Because the ribbons aren't too intrusive,
the bunting can be used for lots of  other occasions.

Last year, my niece had an official Naming Ceremony for her baby daughter,
held in her parents garden.
I made the bunting for this wonderful occasion,
 bunting certainly pretty enough for such a special little girl!
