Making at Broom Farm

 Sophia has finished this cushion to go with the quilt - all finished before the baby arrives next month - well done Sophia, it turned out really well!

(Even if I cant turn this photo the right way up!)

Museum Making

I ran a Fabric Postcard session on Tuesday at Chertsey Museum: Based on bookings, on Monday we expected two children - by lunchtime on Tuesday we were expecting 9, and in the end we had 10!!!

And look how creative they were

 We even managed some sewing this time, not just glue!!!

Museum Making - Somerset Stars and Dorset Buttons

The ladies at Chertsey Museum brought along their Show and Tell based on last month's Somerset Stars

And then, (sticking with the West Country)  we went on to learn Dorset Buttons from a 'Guest Tutor' the lovely Jacqui who was persuaded to come and show us.  Pascale came too, and brought us some fab examples

The Grand Reveal

We were finally able to reveal the A to Z of Windsor wall hanging to the pupils and the parents at school

It is now off on a Parish Tour - this is it's first stop, and the local Church

And it is off to Windsor Arts Centre, the Library, the Museum, The Household Cavalry's Church, and finally a week at . . .  WINDSOR CASTLE before coming back to school in September

POST SCRIPT:

Front page of one local paper

And page three of the other

not finished, but getting closer

The A to Z wall hanging is now assembled, and the the binding is half attached on 3 sides.  It's too heavy for the plan of Velcro tabs so I'm rethinking the top.  Friday is getting scarily close!

A to Z update

This wall hanging is being presented to the parents and the press on Friday, and starts it's parish tour on Monday 16th, let's hope it's ready! The slight problem at the moment is that the L block hasn't arrived!

Windsor A to Z Project

 The blocks are still coming in: 22 letters so far, and three of the corner stones.

I've embroidered the details and the contributers' names under each one, and stitched them on.  We had a summer fate at school and had them pinned to a display board - I didn't think to get a photo, but my glamorous assistant did - thank you Claire!
