Ghosties & Gourds

I’m kicking off a New Series – A Banner Year. I’m calling it an ‘occasional’ series – when I am inspired by a season, a holiday or maybe just the everyday. Each design will be the same general size & always the same banner finish. I am using Colour & Cotton threads for the series as well. Linen color will vary.
