Project Purchases

Not much sewing this week as I've been working extra hours, but I did manage to get some time to shop!

I've started teaching a new class at a local school.  It's their 50th anniversary and they want a wall hanging.   I've got an afters school class of 14 parents and at least that many school age children, plus a few pre-school children (exhausting!)

At the first session last week they decided to base it on this carved plaque

They want to have 50 leaves, each one embroidered with a suitable word (friendship, honesty, environment, that sort of thing) and add owls - one for each head teacher.

So you understand I *had* to shop!


I reckoned that cutting lengths off the embroidery silks at the class was asking for trouble, so I spent ages tonight cutting thread into 1m lengths and storing it on card, and trying not to get knotted!


We'll find out tomorrow if the plan worked!
