Often, birds are an inspiration for art, embroideries included. Sometimes this embroidery is tiny and sometimes it's very big. Here are some cushions made for a doll's house. What birds are they? I recognize the beautiful peacock. I've never seen smaller embroidery. What is the biggest embroidered work? Perhaps it's the Bayeux Tapestry. That is 231 feet (more than 70 metres) in length. It was made in France to record the Battle of Hastings. There are birds on it - poor Harold has a falcon (a sign of high status). Is there embroidery in Cornwall? Heraldry is a good reason. There is an old banner in Trerice, with swallows on it - the symbol of the Arundell family (French "hirondelle"). And there's a little flag there, made by someone in the last war. It shows a chough.

I'm a proper lazybones today. I found an old blog (August 2018) and decided to recycle it. I like reusing lots of things! I was brought up after the war, in a spirit of make do and mend. We didn't squander a single thing. I was satisfied with my verses in the first place, so why shouldn't I recycle them?
