If you are looking for a project to celebrate the month of our independence, here is a beauty!  This cute wall hanging is small enough to display on your wall or to use as a handsome table topper.  The center design, as well as the border lettering, requires multiple hoopings.  If you have been hesitant to try embroidery designs that are larger than your “largest” hoop, have no fear, we will use the template technique that removes all of the frustration.  It really is so easy!  After completing all of the embroidery, simple quilting techniques finish up the project.  We have the embroidery designs and instructions here at the store for you, just check out the materials list for additional items required. 

The finished banner is 27” x 27” and this will be a two day class so the charge will be $20.  I hope you will come and join us for some sewing fun!
