Really pretty! I went to the website and have decided that this is what i'm going to do this year. I used to work at a grocery store and we had a Special Olympics participant who was a bagger. Every time he went to the olympics, he would wear his medal with pride to work for at least 2 weeks. It was wonderful! Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Oliveoil,

 

That's exactly what I was thinking when I decided to design this one. I didn't want to get bored and I wanted the recipients to have variety! It was such fun creating the pattern and working it up!
