Flower patterns!

as promised, here are a list of links to some free patterns that you can use to make flowers for our Flower Festival project.

The flowers will need to be dropped off at Iapetus Gallery, Belle Vue Terrace, Great Malvern by Saturday 26th April at the latest, or if you'd like them to be included in the main display.  If you'd like to join us to help with the setting up of the display, this will be happening on Friday 2nd May (this may change, and time to be confirmed).
