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.
