I have a confession to make - No one at Sweetwater knew what a bunting was until about 2 months ago! When we designed Sunkissed we also designed a quilt called Summer Breeze
We showed it on our blog and someone commented about the bunting. We asked each other , "What is a bunting?" No one knew. We didn't think much about it until more and more people kept talking about the bunting. Still, we had no clue what it was. It was killing us - what is a bunting????? Finally, we looked it up in the dictionary and light bulb moment! It is the flag banner! So we have our blog readers to thank for enlightening us on a new word - THANKS!!!!
So why are we talking about a bunting? Because we have a new project featuring a bunting (flag banner!).
This is our feature for the March Label Crew Club. With Easter on its way this will make the perfect Easter pail!
When you join the label crew club you will receive the pattern for the fun pail,
fun iron on labels, and
a fun personalized label - find out more info here!
Be sure to join us tomorrow - it is our turn for Pillow Talk. A giveaway is in the makings!
I was wondering what bunting was since I see it said on a party site. Found you!

Bunting sounds so much cuter than 'flag banner' don't you think?!
You really have the sweetest products - that pail is adorable and I really MUST make the Summer Breeze quilt :)

I am part of the group that Tracey mentioned in the comments to this post, and boy oh boy i even got a text message from her to go and see the next label crew project, we all love it. All we have to do now is wait patiently until it arrives on our far away shores.

so glad I belong to the label crew! This is so cute, love the little "flags", or bunting.
Is there any way to change the name on my labels? No one calls me Deborah unless I'm in trouble, would rather have Debbie on them! Thanks! Love all that you do! :)

I have just joined the "label crew" and love it. Two of my friends have joined too and each month we get together and make your project for that month using our labels. Its a great way to catch up and we get to craft together.
Bunting is my favourite thing so I can't wait for March.
love me :-)

So I signed up mid january for label crew. I spend 2.5 weeks thinking about how cute the Feb labels were and the pattern!!! I was over the top (seriously, I thought my husband was going to run and hide I was so excited) when they came in the mail.
I say this becuase ... let it begin again this month!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

A bunting is actually a species bird in Europe. Bunting as in flags is term to denote a string of small flags and has not plural. Sorry, nit-picking Brit here!
Still love the Sunkissed quilt though!!
