One of my favorite bloggers - Linda Robertus -
posted in June about a pennant she made for the London Olympics. The idea immediately appealed to me and I researched the project that she contributed through --
Quilts 4 London. Their goal is to present each Olympian at the 2012 Olympics with a pennant. That is a huge undertaking with a goal of upwards of 14,000 pennants. How could I not participate?
So, I began sketching some ideas. Of course, June was a hectic month and I often bemoaned being away from my Bernina for too long. However, I realized Friday that I could use this brief time back home for the 4th of July holiday to create a pennant. It would be a manageable undertaking and therapeutic for me.
I decided to go for the light-hearted and create a pennant for a marathon runner. That seemed appropriate since I will be doing the
Missoula Marathon on July 10 - that is coming up quickly, isn't it!
Here is how my pennant project grew:
