This conversation is getting very interesting. It would be really neat to do something as a group effort.
My wife and daughter are part of a cross-stitching group online. They get together every fall in Hershey, PA. at a bed & breakfast for a week and stitch together. Last year they each made part of a wall-hanging to hang in the inn. I took the inn's logo and designed a walnut hangar of that logo for the fabric to hang on. It turned out very well and everyone (especially the inn's owners) were very happy with the whole thing.
