Cope underside

Liz and April made Bishop Tom's cope and mitre and the children learned about one of the Bishop's favourite activities: trout fishing.  Liz and April embroidered trout flies into the border of the cope, presumably so the Bishop could dream about standing fishing in a quiet river, during other people's boring sermons.
