The post on the “unambitious women” who have nothing better to do than weave crosses out of wheat caught my eye.

The work they have done is quite beautiful and there is every chance that their work will travel the centuries and be appreciated by admirers who by chance enter the church to shelter from the rain.

This was the case when we took shelter in St Antoine’s Church, Nozeroy in the Jura region of France. In this church, you will find 17th century wheat embroidery in near perfect condition. The attached photo is one that I took in 2010. There are few more photos here.
