Happy Birthday Banner


Baby Z has a first birthday coming up in only a couple weeks! It's hard to believe, especially since I keep telling people that "I just had a baby". When will I realize that was more than 11 months ago?

To honor my special little person with something that I can whip out every birthday for the next 18 years of her life, I sewed a birthday banner. At the Asheville library I found a fabulous book by Alicia Paulson, called 'Stitched in Time' (click here for info on the book). I have had a hard time finding good "idea" books for projects, but this is my all time favorite at the moment. I loved every project in the book! I am also working on our Christmas stockings using this book (that'll be another post). The best part was trying to pick out totally different fabric patterns while still making it look cohesive. I could spend hours in a fabric store if I didn't have a small child complaining in my ear. Here it is:
