Square 27
Stanford Junior School

Designed and made by Jean Bosely and made by Sara Cook

Jean worked on the drawings for this square, studying the various different shaped rooflines and building shapes. She decided that it would be too difficult to represent the whole building in the square and chose instead to depict an eclectic view.

The problem of design held back the making and like two pupils who had left their homework till the eleventh hour we worked into the small hours to get it done.

The shapes were cut out and applied to a calico background using bondaweb. The layers were built up and embellished with machine embroidery. Jean embroidered the Cherry trees by hand once the quilt had been assembled.
