Ben Lavery-GriffithsAnd the last of the badges I have here have been sewn on.
It was a lovely project and I’ll miss sitting down and doing it.
Some more details are in the images alt texts.
Added the last cluster of Scouting badges last night and finished them this afternoon. They are all related to camps or Scouting events I’ve been to or been involved with.
I’ve collected badges from various places I’ve visited, so they will be the last to go on, but I need to play around with arrangement I think.
Mostly placement this evening, front lower left will be my collection of badges from the 2007 centenary jamboree.
The large centre badge was recently given to me by my Dad, some of the others are centenary badges, and the rest were acquired from the badge swap tent - which was a lot of fun from what I remember.
Only sewed three of them on this evening - more tomorrow 🤞
There is still more to do, old camp specific badges, badges from countries and towns I’ve visited, a few badges I collected as part of the 2007 centenary jamboree (apparently I didn’t take a photo of these), and a couple of #scoutadelic badges I received for appearing on their YouTube channel.
It’s been a fun project and I hope to find time to add these badges to the blanket soon!
First round done!
County and district badges I’ve been a part of down the right arm, group badges down the left. Welsh dragons on the shoulders, and of course the Scout membership badge on the left breast.
On the back is an arrangement of my old Beaver, Cub, and Scout badges (along with a few non-Scouting ones) to look a bit like the fleur de lis ⚜️
I love how it looks so far. It’s not perfectly done, but I’m a sewing n00b!
16 badges left (out of the current batch!)
Managed to sew 20 while my son was napping
