it's all in the name

I had seen this idea for a name banner, just a bit different than the wooden letters. So I made one for Maria and for Anna.  I used fabric that mom had left over from making her quilt. I think it turned out pretty well. It was relatively easy too. After cutting out the squares and letters, I appliqued the letter onto the square, then sewed two squares together. Then put ribbon in between the squares and voila!

We have plenty to praise God for; Maria's name only has 5 letters in it!
