I finished the Antependium!!!

Yes, this morning I sat and watched “Ian Hislop’s stiff upper lip” and Branston helped me put the last few stitches into the antependium.

*Bounces*

See – I’ve taken it off the frame and everything!

  - Heavens, I haven’t the foggiest. The only people I know who’ve been heard to squee are post-Beatles, though…

  - I thought that too. I dotn think they ever registered a patent though, so we’re probably safe to squee at will
