American flag name tag: All stitched


I just finished the stitching part of Gay Ann's American flag name tag this morning and I think that the design is pretty cute :-)
.
With my name, since it is pretty long, I have used Gay Ann's regular alphabet for the "P" and then used what she calls her economy alphabet for the rest of the letters. If I had not done that, then I would not have been able to add any red horizontal lines on each side of my name and I think the design would not have been as lovely.
.
I have not quite decided if I am going to finish it like Gay Ann has done with hers, which is to stitch the front with the back and then insert into an Avery plastic folder and pin it on myself or if I am going to finish it differently. Need to think about this one, so will put it aside for now.

Hi Pierrette,

This is very pretty!

How about finishing it with cording so it can hand around your neck? That's what I did with my name tag for seminar last year.
