Angels, angels, angels

Angels of every shape, size, material, male and female have descended on St Mary's Church, Higham Ferrers this weekend and I went along to take some photos for this blog.  I didn't expect that there would be 68, yes 68, different angels and they were all so good and so much work had gone into them.

I took photos of them all but I cannot show them all to you, but here is a selection.  (Don't forget to double click on the picture for a better view)

Typographic Angel'

'Flower Angel' - Church Flower Arrangers

 My friend, E, made this one for the flower arrangers.  Isn't she lovely?  The angel I mean!

'Sew Celestial' by The Piecemakers

... and another photo from the other side!

Do you remember my angel that I made - well she is right in the middle and I didn't put her up so it is nothing to do with me!!

I had to include the next angel as 'he' was born in the town in about 1364 .....

'Angels of the World' - the front of the altar

This altar cloth was made by one of our patchwork group.  It was stunning and my photo does not do it justice.

'The Arc Angel' - St Mary's bell ringers

So many angels and I apologise that I couldn't show them all.

Tomorrow my fingers are crossed, as I am doing a very special workshop and I hope nothing goes wrong as I am so excited about it.  I will "Tell all" and show pictures on Sunday.  Doesn't everything happen at once and as we say in this country "Just like London buses - nothing for ages and then they all come along together!!!!"
