About Us

Our business, Banners of Faith, grew from a love of making church banners!

We originally tried using designs and instructions from books that we had purchased, but quickly became frustrated trying to enlarge the patterns using copiers and projectors. The design selection was limited, and the accuracy of the enlarged images was not that good. We decided that there had to be an easier way.

Linda Willis, a graphic designer, created the banner designs on this website. After sketching out the designs, she re-draws them using a computer illustration program. This allows for superior accuracy and smooth lines. The designs are then broken apart, pieces are labeled, and re-grouped by color using paper that is the same width as HeatnBond. Although developing the patterns was very time-consuming, we found that our banners turned out so much better (and went together so much easier) that it was worth it. We thought others might benefit from our patterns also.

Sharri Baker is a pastor's wife, with accounting experience. Since we were already working together to construct banners for our home church, Trinity Alliance, it seemed like a perfect fit for Sharri to take on the business part of our venture. She is the more patient half of our team, and does most of the actual banner construction when we test new patterns. Sharri is also our customer service department, and is generally the one you will talk to should you call with questions.

We are always happy to hear from fellow banner-makers. Please feel free to contact us (e-mail is best) with any questions you may have while constructing your banners. We especially welcome any comments or suggestions you may have to make our patterns even better.

We hope that you and your congregation will be blessed by your banner ministry!
