I used spray basting to sandich the banner and had planned to hand quilt it. However, my needle refused to cooperate, I am guessing it's because of the spray basting product. Makes sense - it's sticky. So I finished the banner with machine quilting. You almost have to study the busy letters to determine what it says!
New projects: Over the last few days I have repainted the upstairs bath, washed everything that sat still, washed and rehung blinds, washed and painted cabinets, front and back, planned new valance over window, spackled in shower area, dragged in the big step ladder and washed walls and painted high cabinets. This unexpected burst of energy is totally foreign to me, but I'll take it, as long as it lasts! I called a friend before attacking the high wall washing, just in case of disaster!
