Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!

This is a totally off-topic posting.  No needlepoint!  I just wanted to post the video of the 2016 Dragon Day parade at Cornell University.

The dragon is built by first year architecture students, paraded from the Arts Quad to the Engineering Quad (where the first year engineering students have a phoenix ready as they are great rivals of the architecture students), and then paraded back to the Arts Quad where it used to be burned.  Burning is considered environmentally unfriendly these days.

It is totally silly and a greatly loved Cornell tradition.  Enjoy!

Kneelers for the Fulham Palace Chapel

The Royal School of Needlework is designing kneelers for Fulham Palace's chapel.  The designs are based on the bishops' coats of arms.
