Pupils' iconic Windsor images to be displayed at castle
Schoolchildren and their families racked their brains to come up with iconic images of Windsor.
The children from Trinity St Stephen School in Vansittart Road teamed
with their families in special 'after school' sessions to create the
images in felt on a fabric background.
Luckily, 26 families came forward - one icon for each letter of the alphabet.
The resulting 6ft by 5ft creation is topped off by the school logo, knitted by headteacher Dalwyn Attwell.
You can see it at nearby St Stephen's Church until Monday.
Over the next month it will also be displayed at the Firestation in St Leonard's Road, Holy Trinity Church in Claremont Road, Windsor
Library on Bachelors Acre, the museum at the Guildhall, and - to
pupils' delight - the Education Centre at Windsor Castle from August 27
to September 2.
It returns to the school next term.
The Pay It Forward is this star:
A lovely lady, Marguerite, was part of a quilting bee: she had managed to keep up with all the blocks she was to send to the other members, but didn't have time to plan or cut the fabric for her own blocks. The Bee Mama arranged to have others send her star blocks, but not enough for a quilt top. I read about Marguerire on Hadley's blog, and having been recently the recipient of quilter's generosity, felt I should do something to Pay It Forward
And the Pillow: this embroidery for a customer
