Give Thanks Banner

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week.

We are having our big feast at my sister’s home in Jacksonville again. 

If all goes well we will eat outside this year too. Only this year we will be over 40 people! 

You can go here to see our table from last year. And here for our Thanksgiving in 2009.

I’m trying to come up with some ideas for the table this year. 

This has nothing to do with the table but I thought a banner might look cute on her porch. 

I had everything on hand already.  I reused the burlap from last years runners. 

I had some canvas scraps that I used to print out the letters. 

I’m a sucker for cute fonts and I really love this one.

It's called beauregard and you can find it on dafont.com. Or right here.
You're welcome.

I used freezer paper and ironed it on the canvas then ran them through the printer. 

The paper was giving me some problems this time.
I think it was because the canvas is pretty heavy. 

But after a couple of do overs I was good to go.

I stitched on some bias tape. I couldn’t remember why I had bought it.

I must of had a plan for it. Oh well, I used it now.

I hot glued a few leaves and pinecones to use as a divider.

Then I had to tack down the canvas at the bottom because it was wanting to curl.

Leave it to Florida to be humid in November.

I should have sewn it down because the glue gun and I were not getting along today.

I have no idea how I got that much glue on my thumb.

Gah, it hurt so much. It was throbbing like Fred Flintstone!

That is the glue peeling off, not my thumb. 

That will happen soon though because that’s a blister forming right under it.

I’ll be back soon to show you what I did with the rest of the sweater from the pumpkins.

Now that’s an odd sentence.
