Module 1 Chapter 1

The first task was to collect a wide variety of either stars or crosses.

I looked up the definitions to both:
CROSS:
Mark, object or figure formed by two short intersecting lines or pieces.
An upright post with transfer bar as used in antiquity for crucifixion. Emblem for Christianity.
Pass in opposite directions
Intersect
Annoyed
Something unavoidable that has to be endured
Cross shaped decoration awarded for personal valour
Constellation - Southern Cross
Hybrid
Soccer - pass of ball across field
Boxing - a right cross

STAR:
Fixed luminous light in night sky
Stylized representation of a star, typically having 5 or more points
Asterisk
Star symbol used as a category of excellence
White patch on horse or other animal
Star connection (electrical)
Star network (data network)
Famous entertainer or sportsperson
Successful person
Astrology/horoscope

I elected to collect crosses since I am also working on a piece on war where I am using a series of crosses on both organza and knitting, so I am already in Cross mode as it were.  Once you start, there are cross shapes everywhere you look.
