Most kids seem to take to stitching like a duck to water. Wendy and I have run a couple of workshops for children (and adults) to involving them in art project involving the Guild and the City of Canada Bay. This links with the embroidered letters that Guild members have been doing.

Tree of Knowledge - letters stitched by members of
the Embroiderers' Guild NSW |
This aspect of the Public Art project involves encouraging members our community to stitch something which reflects something they have read. Their stitched " leaf" will be applied to a fabric covered tree form (think of a conical shape like a Christmas Tree) and live at Concord Library
I took a photo of the table set up at for the very first kids workshop but after that was way too busy to take any happy snaps.
I came home tired and happy. The participants enjoyed themselves.
I am about to create a new page containing more information about how to go about making a leaf for those that have an inkling to have a go themselves. I will post it shortly.
In the interim email me if you would like instructions in pdf format.
