Valedictorian!

It's Official!  My grandson will be the Valedictorian for the Darlington HS class of 2018! I have been working on the banner all along, but now I can add that one special detail to the Academic Excellence patch!  Here it is.

It's a little hard to see all the letters, there's not enough contrast where the red letters "i" and "c" cross the handle of the torch.   Also I had to hand sew these letters, my sewing machine has an embroidery component to it, but doesn't sew in an arch.  I'm not very adept at using that part of my sewing machine either.  I didn't want to risk screwing it up!  So I will leave it a it is.  It still looks great, I think.
