It comes as a surprise to many that Quakers have a fondness for Christmas Trees. This year I shall miss the big tree in the old hall at Ackworth - and all the Friends of Ackworth School Quaker Samplers from around the world who gathered there in December 2006 and 2008. The stitched archive at Ackworth School is not static - recently we have added the entries from the Quaker Post Competition. And now here is a chance for a stitched item by you to have a place in that archive - and to hang on the Ackworth School Tree. Simply stitch one of Steve Rousseau's Ornaments, stitch your name and date on the reverse and then email me for sending in details when you are ready.

What a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice thought - now, what if we wanted to do something a little different, but still a small Christmas ornament using the Ackworth motifs? Is that okay, or do you need them to be all somewhat similar? I have way too much stitching to do, but the idea of my ornament on an Ackworth tree is irresistible!

Thank you for sharing! not sure will have enough time to make them for this coming Christmas, but for the next one definitely.
ReplyDeleteNext Christmas would be wonderful, too!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have the ornaments this time somewhat similar, please.
ReplyDeleteI would be honoured to be a part of this project although choosing which one to stitch will be difficult!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with all the above comments nothing more to say..!
