Download this EQ7 Birthday Banner! This banner is quick and easy to make. Just add your own colors, change the flower applique to something you like better and then marvel at how cute it looks hanging at the party! I put together this cute birthday banner in EQ7. I wanted to make a banner for my daughter’s first birthday party coming up next week. I found a website that showed a similar banner but I wanted to make some edits so this is what I made in EQ7. I printed out the templates for the letters and one for the block. Now, to be fair, my mom is the one who’s actually going to sew this for the party! Bless her heart… because I am not good with a needle and thread Better yet, add image of your party girl or boy to personalize the banner! With EQ7 new Image work
