The Golden Gate Audubon Society in California just published an article about bird needlepoint cushions in San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. Bird lovers and those who admire ecclesiastical embroidery will enjoy reading about the flock stitched for the various areas.

Wish I had known about these cushions the last time I was in SF. Would definitely have visited the church (don't know when I'll be there again). Thanks for posting their blog--wonderful background information.
