Bedroom Banner

Hear ye, hear ye, let all who pass through this doorway know that two very special princesses live in this room...


I started this project about a year ago, just after Lila was born. I got it to match the sweet, matching quilts my mother-in-law made for the girls.


I don't know if you can see the details clearly, but we picked this fabric because it has "cloud castles" on it.

When I was a little girl my dad would tell me bedtime stories about Princess Chrissy who's father, the king, was an inventor. He built her a playhouse that was a castle on a cloud, and it could fly. So she and her brother, Prince Joshua, and then later Baby Princess Caitlin, would fly around and have amazing adventures. But they were always home in time for dinner. I knew when I saw this fabric that those stories would be a tradition I would be passing on to my two little princess.

That's such a cute tradition. I'm glad you're passing it on - with your own crafty touch. :)
