@austinsmum2011 @TracyBorman Exquisite. I don’t sew at all - even scout badges look a mess when I’ve finished with them, so these look incredibly intricate to me.

@TracyBorman Can I ask please, what happens to the Bacton altar cloth when it goes off display, and do you have any idea when it will be shown again? I’ve missed seeing it this time and want to se it next time!
