Banner reverse side
Front of banner
This is my entry for the Milton Keynes Embroidery Guild banner. We were given a piece of bright red fabric and a lettershape. The instruction was to make a fabric letter and attach it to the red fabric, cut into the banner shape. The second side to be decorated with a design and embellishments of your own choice.
Mine is made of peach silk, stamped with sun ,flowers and spirals in orange paint, then machine embroidered. finally the back and front were joined into the banner triangle.
