The Kneeler Scheme
Our group of stitchers worked exceedingly hard to have the Choir kneelers in Church before “The Millennium”. Now the first with 2000 stitched into them have appeared in Church. We shall continue to undertake commissioned work, but not as kneelers, as seat cushions. Thanks to Sue Lidgley for keeping the photographs and Annette and Ron Guppy for updating the album pages.
The group still meet the 2nd Monday each month and we have started Choir seat cushions incorporating wools kindly donated by Miss Thornicroft, who has moved to Brackley. One section is already the Church.
Helmdon School Children continue stitching Noah’s Ark kneelers on Monday afternoons. Every child stitches, even the 4-5 years olds, and they are brilliant. It takes approximately four terms to complete 2 kneelers!
If anyone wishes to join us, please contact anyone at the church.
