My little talk with Peggy ended up with me deciding to make some banners for Pentecost. I had made some very plain red banners for Palm Sunday after I discovered there weren't any. What did they do before? I wanted Pentecost to be special so I started thinking about what I wanted to do. Finding the right fabrics and of course the templates for the letters and the dove. Once that was done I started the process.
Off to Kinkos to make my 12" letters. Do you know how long it takes to applique a 12" letter? It takes a fair bit of time. My stitching time was in the evening, sitting in the TV room listening to whatever program was on. I started working on them the week after Easter and I finished the Thursday before Pentecost. I was starting to panic that it would not be finished on time. Check it out, what do you think?
Now it is time to figure out what to do for Advent?
In the meantime I've sold two dresses and donated three to our local food bank for their annual fundraiser. I was very happy that all the dresses had good bids on them. There is one more dress to finish and deliver then I can start on another very special one. My granddaughter, Sherri, has a little girl. Lydia Jo was born on June 3rd. It is time to make her a very pretty dress.
We are blessed in so many ways. May you have a great day today, tomorrow and the days that follow.
Hugs,
Nancy
