Is this the sort of thing you are looking for Monica? Love Chris

If it is I'm sure someone could digitise something similar without infringing copyright. I'll look forward to seeing what others have to say. Love Chris

Hi this is Mr Monika. Her highness has just left to go to yet another patchwork group. I found this link to the Jericho Labyrinth on Wikipedia.
I am becoming obsessed with these things. The history is so intriguiging.I don't know how to add a link, so I just did the bloke thing and cut and pasted.

From what I saw the Jericho labyrinth is a circular one, with lots of variations in the way the path is laid out, originally with 6 lanes and 7 walls. Is that what you want. And what size would you want the design to be? It would not be to difficult to digitise one or more.

Hi, this is Mr Monika. That sounds like just what I want. The history of labyrinths is truly interesting. Not only are they a maze that doesn't have dead ends, there is also some intricate mathematical formula in their design. The Jericho labyrinth was found at Jericho, and I thought it very symbolic because of the Bible story of Joshua. Originally the idea an embroided finger Labyrinth was that the stitching was very pronounced to simulate the footsteps in the original paved or grassed labyrinths. I could send you a jpeg if you like. I am thinking 5" square in jef would be wonderful.

What about this one, I also made the simplest one, that with 7 walls.

Here are the labyrinth designs Martine and Vicki digitised for us , they are fantastic, Thank you, girls.

I decided to make 4 hexigons rather than a quilt , so they can be shared around the class.

yes - where are these? Are they available? I would love them. I think so many people would appreciate these. Even middle school kids can use these to calm down and refocus - not to mention adults!
