All the men received Garden flags from me for christmas. Here's one. Burlap bqcking. Finished size, 14"Wx18L. Used 9" split font from Claws&Paws and all weather fabric. Of course I included the iron stand with it. Turned top over and did 1" tunnel for the stand arm to go through/Lillian

Thank you. I purchased mine at Loews. You should be able to buy them anywhere they sale gardening tools and supplies or yard and patio items. Home Depot, Loews etc but they are here in the states do not know where you live. Lillian

Oh you just gave me an idea for outdoor cushions. This would look awesome. I like Claws and Paws Alphabets. Have a couple but, not this one.

Nice idea for a gift for men, I like the split font too!!!!! Does the burlap hold up good in the weather? So it's done on one side only with burlap on backside? Great job!!!!

I wondered about burlap , also. I have no idea what will endure outside weather.

Little lady across the rd. from me has had burlap one up now for almost a yr. It "s been through rain, sleet, snow and sunshine and still looks good. I did one back in Oct. with just Burlap and Emb.(no appliq) and it still looks good.Lillian

I am always at a loss for the men but this worked out well. Guess all men like seeing their names and the father and 2 sons all lived away from ea. other so that worked well. The rest all had different names. Thanks Lillian

Nice gift idea. This one is neat how the strips ended up in the middle.
