Bannermaking

Banner making is the ancient art or craft of sewing banners. Techniques used include applique embroidery fabric painting patchwork and others.The United States has the largest concentration of German speakers outside of Europe an indication of this presence can be found in the names of such villages and towns as New Leipzig Munich Karlsruhe and Strasburg North Dakota and New Braunfels Texas. Though over the course of the th century many of the descendants of th and thcentury immigrants ceased speaking German at home small populations of elderly as well as some younger speakers can be found in Pennsylvania Amish Hutterites Dunkards and some Mennonites historically spoke Pennsylvania Dutch a West Central German variety and Hutterite German Kansas Mennonites and Volga Germans North Dakota Hutterite Germans Mennonites Russian Germans Volga Germans and Baltic Germans South Dakota Montana Texas Texas German Wisconsin Indiana Louisiana and Oklahoma. Early twentieth century immigration was often to St. Louis Chicago New York Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Most of the postWorld War II wave are in the New York Philadelphia Los Angeles San Francisco and Chicago urban areas and in Florida Arizona and California where large communities of retired German Swiss and Austrian expatriates live.In Canada there are people of German ancestry throughout the country and especially in the western cities such as Kelowna. German is also spoken in Ontario and southern Nova Scotia. There is a large and vibrant community in the city of Kitchener Ontario. German immigrants were instrumental in the countrys three largest urban areas Montreal Toronto and Vancouver but postWWII immigrants managed to preserve a fluency in the German language in their respective neighborhoods and sections.

In the first half of the th century over a million GermanCanadians made the language one of Canadas most spoken after French.In Mexico there are also large populations of German ancestry mainly in the cities of Mexico City Puebla Mazatlán Tapachula and larger populations scattered in the states of Chihuahua Durango and Zacatecas. German ancestry is also said to be found in neighboring towns around Guadalajara Jalisco and much of Northern Mexico where German influence was immersed into the Mexican culture.PlautdietschPlattdeitsch is a large minority language spoken in the north by the Mennonite communities and is spoken by more than people in Mexico while standard German is spoken by the affluent German communities in Puebla Mexico City Nuevo Leon San Luis Potosi and Quintana Roo.Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with designs stitched in strands of thread or yarn using a needle. Embroidery may also use other materials such as metal strips pearls beads quills and sequins. Sewing machines can be used to create machine embroidery.Embroidery is classified according to the use of the underlying foundation fabric. One classification system divides embroidery styles according to the relationship of stitch placement to the fabricAn important distinction between canvas work and surface embroidery is that surface work requires the use of an embroidery hoop or frame to stretch the material and ensure even stitching tension that prevents pattern distortion. Canvas work tends to follow very symmetrical counted stitching patterns with designs developing from repetition of one or only a few similar stitches in a variety of thread hues. Most forms of surface embroidery by contrast are distinguished by a wide range of different stitching patterns used in a single piece of work.
