Today I pinned the fronts to the backs and trimmed the bottoms so that they have a gentle curve to soften the look. These banners are so large that I can't do this work on my work tables. Thank goodness I have a large kitchen floor. Drawback is the dog hair but I did wash the floor last week so that was one thing I didn't have to do today. :-)
One other thing I did today was send out a sample for the next big project coming right up on the heels of this one. 100+ yards of custom dyed silk velvet for 28 acoustical panels for a church in Tennessee. Whoo hooo. Let the good times roll.
I used the rest of today to rewrite a Quilt University class that is coming up in March. It is my tea stain dyeing class that I decided to expand to include spices and household food items such as cabbage and onion skins. We have been experimenting with these stains for a few sessions and I have collected enough pictures and samples that the class is a "go" ...BUT...I have to have it written and submitted by tomorrow so Carol can review it, edit it and have it ready to go in time. Almost there. Tomorrow will be a sewing day and finishing up the QU class. Phew! I'm running as fast as I can. Next week I plan on sitting in the sun and not doing anything for a day or two. That's the plan...

Ah, floor exercise. In my case it's the getting upright at the end that's taking a little longer every time.
I bet your custom dyed silk velvet panels will be fabulous. Bente's dress sure was.
Please say that you'll post pictures of the finished banners. I can't wait to see them.
I have been thinking how on earth am I going to photograph these? My area for photograpghy is big but not that big.
The biggest banner I have ever made was 7'x 11' and I was able to hang it on a beam in the kitchen to get a shot but the nails are long gone and I just don't have the energy for all that. I am going to have to rely on the person who is in charge to get me some shots when they are up and the angels are singing. :-)
