Close-up of mini quilt





Here is a close-up of one of the mini quilts. The color is actually like a sage or olive green. It has brown ric-rac, and a purchased bow with a pearl bead in the center, on every letter.

Name Banner


I really don't know what to call them! This is the 3rd one I have made. This was made for my Secret Pal at work. (the other 2 were also). Its like little mini quilts decorated with the letters of the recipients name, then hooked together with floss and beads, then added a little floss at the ends and a ring, wrapped in the floss, so she can hang it. She really liked it. I think this is the cutest one yet! I made it in the color preferences listed on her "secret pal" sheet as her favorite colors, Sage Green and Brown.

If anyone knows of a clever name for them, leave me a comment or let me know, "name hanger" just doesn't sound that clever.
***I've decided to call them Name Banners, since they kind of resemble the "Happy Birthday" banners that you hang, only these are made out of different materials.
