Single Bunting


Hi friends, these aren't the best photos, please bare with me.  I just didn't want to retake everything.  I've going to be going out of town to sing tomorrow morning and will be gone till late Friday, so I'm in a bit of a time crunch.

I'm not really a bunting girl.  Really.  But then it happened...


I was looking at this ledge from my earlier post and was thinking that a little fabric here would be soooo nice...the world's smallest runner?  Then I decided on a bunting.  Interrupted.  See what I mean?  Only one flag.  Flip photo below, roll mouse over.  Note, spacing gets messed up.











I whipped up two single bunting flags for my frames--I guess I can call them frame buntings, right?


I cut a triangle of burlap (I was thinking about doing all toile with ruffles to coordinate with the runner, but I wanted to keep from viering into the Land of Precious.) and appliqued a triangle of toile onto it.  That looked kind of plain, so I added a rose made with a scrap.


 You can see I attached them by tying the jute cord to the frame wire.


This is the completed arrangement.  Here is the prior romantic post -- with much clearer photos -- if you'd like to see more.


I guess I can be a bunting girl.  For awhile.



I'm hanging my bunting with these blogs:
