The right to meet with friends and join groups and clubs

The North Barn Quilters are a group of 50 like minded stitchers from West Lothian. Some of the ladies from the group visited our school last week to showcase the wonderful quilt that they have made using the theme of the Commonwealth Games.

Part one is a quilt made up of 70  flags from the Commonwealth. The photos below show how vibrant and effective this quilt is.

Part two of the groups project was to represent the range of sporting disciplines which will feature at the Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow this year. The children were amazed at the amount of work that had gone into creating this masterpiece – It was truly stunning! The chains represent that every member of the team is connected, hence the rings binding the panels together.

The project was started in November 2013 and was finally completed at the end of May 2014.

We would like to congratulate all who were involved in this project and we are very proud of your achievement. Thank you for sharing it with us. We hope that it finds a worthy home for lots of people to see and enjoy.
