Make a Pennant for a 2012 Olympic Athlete

- Size required is A3 (12" x 16") -

- 12,000 Pennants Required for this National Olympic Textile Project-

The Project is Supported by

Lynne Edwards, Gail Lawther, The Batik Guild, The Cross Stitich Guild,

The International Felt Makers Association,

The Quilter's Guild of the British Isles and UK Hand Knitting.

Pennants can be any shape and any design. We will be 'stringing' them all together, for some amazing exhibitions in the time leading up to the 2012 Games.

All Regions of the British Isles get involved! Quilters, felt makers, embroiderers, cross stitchers, in fact anyone who sews now have an opportunity to express their support, through the medium of fabric, fibre and stitch, to become part of the whole Olympic event in London 2012. Pennants can be as simple or elaborate as you want, made by anyone regardless of their level of ability or age (children welcome) and using any textile media. Our aim is to present a Pennant to each Olympic athlete, a personal gift from you to them. Check out 'How To Make One' for guidelines & Youtube for a demonstration, on how to make a Pennant.
