This is the pieced fabric for a new rainbow stole. I hope to be putting it together tomorrow. What do you think?

The embroidery machine is in the shop for its annual checkup, we are less than nine days from Christmas, and Spirit Descending is closed for custom work intil 2026 (we will still sell in stock stoles and express them to you to surprise your Pastor, though!) Blessed Christmas, Happy New Year and all the Joy of the season to every one of you.

O Clap Your Hands stole for nonbinary folks.

Reversible paraments for Stone Church of the Brethren. Advent and Lent sides reflect their simple Aesthetic.

Making the “O Clap Your Hands” stole requires a couple of days of piecing together little 2” squares then sewing the squares together into rows, then row to row to row. It is the most labor intensive stole I make. But I can use any colors I like. This one, in the colors of the nonbinary flag, will be an ordination gift - but I can custom make this any way you like.

Construction Day. Unique paraments for Stone Church of the Brethren. Double sided blue/purple.

Just made my last delivery of paraments to Abbey Reformed UCC in Huntingdon, PA. They ordered all the colors; did 2 sets of white and 2 sets of green. I can’t show you the ones I delivered today; they have not unveiled them to the congregation yet, but this is the penultimate set for ordinary time.
