First off, thanx for all your praise of Kingdom. I'm so excited to see what many of you will sew with it, so promise you'll share, OK? And I promise there will be more posts to come with my projects etc., when I get the fabric.
So, I feel like I have a ton to post about and just no time to get to it. I will be a tease and tell you I have big, giant, HUGE news coming this month!
One project I haven't shared yet is this banner I made for Aurora's Daisy Scout Troop. They marched in the a local St. Patrick's day parade with it, but sadly I was in Hawaii and missed it. However, they are supposed to use this for many years to come, so I'm sure I'll get to see it in action.
I hear it was cold, but they had a good time. And the troop just loved the banner. The girls each added a little decoration to a leaf with their name on it. Is it bad that I didn't actually want them to contribute? I knew they needed to do something to make it their own, but I wanted to keep it with the fabric leaves. But I was a good mom and let go of the control (a little anyway). :)

"Is it bad that I didn't actually want them to contribute?"
Um, a little. You have talent and definitely can carry out a vision, but sounds like you need to learn to be a little less controlling. ;) I'm glad you didn't stop the girls from customizing it. Besides, I think it adds to the banner.
But don't worry, even though it's not exactly how you envisioned it, you clearly did a great job!

You're an artist; when a project is completed it is not always easy to let others change it. But I think the banner is fantastic!! And the girls' designs are just right - a nice addition that doesn't overwhelm the banner.

Jessica, this banner is perfect, I love it. I was wondering what kind of material you used for the banner and how well it's held up the last two years.
