More Church Banners

I’ve been making more banners for First United Methodist Church in Tell City, Indiana.  The first set that I made in the fall were for ordinary time.  These new ones are for Lent and Advent.  Thorns in the Desert

Lenten Cross

Advent Stars

Advent Candles

The biggest challenge for these banners is in finding a variety of purple fabrics from light to dark.  I wanted red-violet for Lent and blue-violet for Advent.  Once again I had to add a wash of paint to slightly alter the color of a couple of the fabrics.  Overall, I am pleased with the fabrics.  The last Lent and Advent banners I made were much duller in color.  These fabrics make the stars and flames seem to glow.

They have been packed and shipped and are off to their new home.

On a different note, I am thrilled to say that my Chevron Stitch Zebra was chosen as a highlight and featured on Sharon B’s blog, pintangle.   Thanks, Sharon!
