I'm sure this post has been posted before, but being that I am new I would like to know how most of you prefer to show off your merit badges?

Thanks!

I've printed mine onto fabric, and then embroidered them. The showing off part I have yet to figure out. I think I'd like to get a canvas bag to put then on, since I use bags like that all the time. I still haven't made a commitment yet. Ceejay has a post, I can't remember where, but I think it's under the farmgirl members board somewhere, that shows how she turned all of hers in removable pins. I liked that idea too, since it isn't too permanent.

My sisterhood's "Mother Hen" here in my town embroidered hers and put them on the back of a denim jacket. Too cute!

I'm embroidering a set of Merit Badges right along with my Cultivator grand girls. I'm going to turn mine into a wall hanging/quilt.

Be sure and post a picture of that quilt Mary Jane. Sounds like a wonderful idea to get young girls to sew.

A wall-hanging is a great idea, Mary Jane. That got me thinking - what about a border for a Jubilee Flag - add the embroidered merit badges on the sides and the bottom. They could also be put on triangular pieces of fabric to make a banner. Display those merit badges proudly and celebrate the Jubilee at the same time.
