The stretching, muscle pulling and cheering of the 2012 Olympics are racing towards us and craft will not be left behind. Quilts4London are inviting those handy with a sewing needle to stitch an Olympic pennant.
They're looking for 12,000 pennants to represent the UK's athletes in a National Olympic Textile Project you should be able to see from anywhere in the stands.
The pennants can be made in any shape and design and they're calling for any genre of craft that involves sewing to join in.
Helpful guidelines for how to make your pennant can be found here and there's an even handier video taking you through step by step here.
The deadline for all contributions is December 2011 but it's never to soon to get your needle and thread in training.
For more details and an address to send to go to the Quilts4London website.
