This is one of my new textile banners. It is made from all kinds of odds and ends that I have collected over the years. The amber colors in this piece are some of my favorites. Our family room is painted in a kind of adobe brick color and so I think it will look lovely in there this coming Christmas.

| A full view of my quilted "Magi" banner, It's not too terribly large. I intend it for display and as a teacher's sample. |
 |
| I included a batik fish that hung on our tree for many years. It was the original inspiration for the quilt. |
 |
| I found this delicate batik kerchief at a yard sale one summer. I think I paid 50 cents for it. |
 |
| Just a close-up of the banner. This shows some of the details I worked into the surface. I don't use a sewing machine. I like to carry my work around on trains, planes, car trips, etc... I look like a little old lady with spectacles bent over her needle work! |
