National Celebration of Stitch, 6th August

We celebrated National Stitch Day by holding a drop-in day for visitors at Charlecote Park while our Capability Brown exhibition was still on display in the Orangery.  We were delighted to welcome 87 visitors - young and not so young, male and female, stitchers and ‘non stitchers’ – who popped in long enough to add a stitch or two, or sat stitching for nearly an hour embroidering leaves, deer, flowers or the ‘Charlecote Bayeux’. 

When completed the Bayeux will be on permanent display at Charlecote. 

Throughout the exhibition, our JETS group’s panel depicting pike, which swam in the River Avon in Capability Brown’s day and also feature on the Lucy family coat of arms, has been on display in the summerhouse nearby.
