We could take that one step further and do a "book" with seven fairy tales
or nursery rhymes containing seven things. I'm asure we can find them if
we try. 
I can think of Snow White and her seven dwarves, The little tailor and his
seven giants, Puss in boots (the boots go 7 leagues at a time), the girl
and her seven swans(can't remember her name, she has to knit 7 nettle
jumpers to free her 7 brothers from the spell), Tom Thumb (I'm sure he's
got seven brothers)...
Tha would be enough project for all the lacemakers in the world, I think
:-))

Yes, but the cats and the kittens are in the sacks. And I'm sure you 
wouldn't see all the 49 sacks at one time - if I were carrying 7 sacks 
some of them would be hidden behind my body and behind the other sacks. 
But I also can't imagine that all the sacks would stay closed with so 
many irritated kitties inside, so I think you'd see:

1 man
7 wives,
a number of sacks appearing from behind the wive's backs or lying on 
the roadside where somebody dropped one and hasn't noticed yet
a few cats and kittens who have managed to make their escape, running 
every which way ...

That makes a great subject for a group project because the number of 
objects isn't pre-determined: dedicated trustworthy volunteers would 
make the man (who I bet is carrying *nothing*) and his rather harried 7 
wives, lots of people could make sacks and you could have a few 
cat-makers, but if any of the sacks or cats didn't get made you 
wouldn't have a problem.
