Althea Wiel Ecclesiastical Embroidery Pattern

New Books, New Information

Receiving new Ecclesiastical Embroidery books among them is “Design for Church Embroidery” by R.A., Althea Wiel, originally published in 1894. This treasured book, now republished, offers a glimpse into historical Ecclesiastical vestment designs. One notable design, intended for a chalice veil, intricately symbolic of Christ, His Sacred Heart, and symbolic elements like grapes and vines. Another design features a simple yet elegant cross adorned with ivy leaves, suggesting color choices for stitching. These designs provide a valuable connection to the artistry of the past in Ecclesiastical Embroidery.
