For anyone interested, the welcome banner was a free project on the Babylock website. The font was one of those taht came with the machine and I couldn't find an embroidery that looked like my house so decided to change it to "my castle" as for me my house is my castle. The font is about 6 inches tall. I used outdoor fabrics and velcroed the bottom to the house as we get lots of wind here in IA.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
