This is the Welcome banner that hangs on my front porch. It has been there a long time and is looking rather faded and worn out.
Time to make a new banner. I gathered together a pattern and some fabric choices and began
This is what I got done this afternoon. The house is all sewn together. Now I need to sew the borders, add the WELCOME at the bottom and the stars along the side panel. A lot of my original fabric choices were changed, but that was the fun - digging through my stash and saying No, No, No, or Yes, Yes Yes.
I will add a button for the door knob and sew in some window sashings. The door looks huge and entirely out of proportion, but that makes it all the more charming. The patterns are by joinedatthehip.com. At last count, there were 48 patterns in this series and I want to make more - at least one for every month.

I love it! The fabrics you chose are wonderful. I can hardly wait to see it finished.
The door needs to be big for all the people that come through who love you!!!
