The
complete banner |
||||
| This banner was a project that although instigated by the 97 group was something that the whole membership of the North Kent Embroiderers Guild joined in with. The blue and white - well, silver - came from the colours of St Andrew's flag. The designs orginated from various designs in St Andrew's Arts Centre and closeby and members were each given a piece of blue silk for the background, blue embroidery threads as well as some silver threads. Only a dash of another colour was permitted. It will be fixed into St Andrews Centre and will be able to be viewed on Open Days there, and by groups that use the Centre. Many various stitches were used, and they are not listed here - you try to see how many you can spot! | ||||
