In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a little busy here over the last little while, and my reading of others peoples’ blogs has dropped to practically nil. But I knew that Ruth O’Leary must be nearing the end of her mammoth banner project – St Cuthbert’s Banner for Durham Cathedral – so I went to check on it. I found that it has been finished.
It is magnificent! You can see her post (from a couple of weeks ago!) about the first time it was all put together and tested by being carried around.
I have been watching Ruth’s progress on this banner for many many months, and have particularly marveled at the way she plugged away at the same motifs over and over again. Such dedication!
The end result is completely worth all that dedication. Congratulations Ruth, on an amazing piece of work!

It is a fabulous piece of work, isn’t it! I’ve been enjoying watching it grow..
It must have been such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment for her!
