Bunting but not for babies...

My good friend Elizabeth of The Altered Book Lover has invited me to join in with some recycling on the lead up to B-Earthday!

This isn't the project I originally though of but something that came out of trying to cheer folk up in these strange Covid-19 times.
When I first thought of it I spoke with the manager here and she thought it was just right!

Here are some extracts from the letters sent out

I made some templates and cut up lengths of string and twine, some from way at the bottom of boxes and backs of cupboards - how did we come to own so much of the stuff?

The idea I had was to decorate the balconies and windows here at our retirement complex with bunting for Easter and not only use up some of my own fabric to but to encourage others to do the same!

We knew that some folk would be unable to make their own due to their disabilities and that there would also be a few grumpy old men who just would not want to take part!
I asked the Messy Day group and a couple of other ladies if they could help and I set to with a few myself.

 I used some old shirts, leftover fabric from projects and some fabric I had bought at bargain prices with nothing in mind!
My extra bunting was gratefully received.

It was lovely to see folk putting them up in our courtyard

We took walk around as I was told that they were appearing everywhere!
We went out of the complex and could see that some of the bunting can be seen by passers by - so they will be cheered up too!

 There are some in another courtyard too

I hope that more will be up by now so we will have another walk this weekend!

I have been told also that someone outside our complex is also going to make bunting - who knows, this may catch on in our area!

Oh! and the grumpy old men - they have bunting up!!

I have been asked what will be next month's project.....eeek! 

Thanks for looking, Chris
