This year on March 14, the date will be 3/14/15, which matches the first five digits of Pi: 3.1415. This alignment of digits will not occur again for another century.
To celebrate, Sally Sellers in Vancouver, WA is creating a fabric ribbon of Pi digits as long as they can make it.

I decided to contribute a number and stitched up a zero.
To create a solid zero, I decided to fill it by couching blue pearl cotton with black floss.

Up close couching.
Really up close.
Here is the zero finished. Then I stitched two rows of butterfly chain with yellow and red floss.
Next I added a green banner behind the zero (The banner is a Sublime Stitching pattern).

Making a number is on my to do list! I absolutely love how your 0 turned out, it's lovely!
