Hi Everyone:
Happy Flag Day. Anita here with a banner that you can use for Flag Day as well as for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and any other day that you want to celebrate our great country. I used several different cut files of Lori’s to create this banner.

I love mix and matching Lori’s cut files to create new projects. I am going to show you how I prepared the fabric for cutting in my Silhouette machine. 
Here are the supplies that I used for this project. Terial Magic is a wonderful product that comes in a spray bottle and you can get it on Amazon or at your local quilt shop. I sprayed the fabric liberally and checked the back side to make sure that it was soaked on both sides. I hung the pieces on my shower rod to let them drip to just damp. I recommend you put something under where you hang the fabric so that it doesn’t make a mess. It’s sticky, and rubber gloves might have been helpful to use as well.
Here is a photo of the fabric as I was in the process of ironing it. You can see the bottom left looks still darker and wet and the right part is done and the fabric feels like paper. I ironed my fabric on a towel to absorb any extra of the Terial Magic Fabric Stabilizer.
You can see how this fabric stands up once it is ironed.
I used the strong grip mat from Cricut and a brayer to make sure that the fabric didn’t move. You will want to slow down your cutter in addition to choosing fabric as your material to be cut.
I laid out the blocks to see how they would look and switched around the banners and embellishments.
Earlier in the week on Tuesday we had our June blog hop and I have included a photo with the quilt block centerpiece and the banner that I made. I am going to put this out for the 4th of July.
Hugs,
Anita
