VDMA Machine Embroidery Design for Stoles

VDMA Machine Embroidery Design for Stoles:

As we near the end of 2016, it is a time of reflection, looking back to days gone by, counting the many blessings we have received this year, and remembering loved ones who have gone before us to their heavenly home.  As the New Year approaches, we look forward to the future joys. There will be celebrations, new births, adventures, and the daily and weekly gifts we are given each week by our faithful pastors, priests, and ministers.

We are thankful this year that we have finally been able to realize a dream with the launching of our online storefront at www.ecclesiasticalsewing.com.  It has been a long journey, and it is our hope that the online storefront will be a blessing for many with the collection of resources we have brought together for those who desire to make church vestments.  And so with thankful hearts, we celebrate and thank those who have given us their trust to help create beautiful church vestments.

Each year within the church, there are also times of celebration. To help you plan and prepare for upcoming events and celebrations throughout the church year, Ecclesiastical Sewing has prepared this handout marking the Church Holidays and Saint Days for 2017.

The downloadable PDF file is available here:

Christian-holidays-and-saint-days-for-2017

This guide marks the more common celebrations used through the Christian Church. As with any event, celebration, or matter of faith where there may be differences, it is always wise to direct questions to your pastor or priest.

500th Anniversary of the Reformation

One of the special celebrations for 2017 will be the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation on October 31. To mark this event, Ecclesiastical Sewing has created a collection of unique and original embroidery designs to mark this special celebration.

VDMA Cross Embroidery Design

The first design is the VDMA Cross embroidery design. It features the letters VDMA which in Latin is Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum for the Word of the Lord Endures Forever. This emblem was embroidered on clothing, and engraved on swords, armor, and coins. Explore wonderful examples of this at LutheranReformation.org.

You can download and stitch out the VDMA Cross as a digital embroidery file using an embroidery sewing machine. We also have the design stitched out and prepared for use as orphrey bands to be stitched on a pastoral stole.

Along with the designs currently available on our website, we are very pleased to announce Edward Riojas has been gracious enough to collaborate on a soon-to-be-announced set of designs created for the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. Edward is the artist behind the artwork for Higher Things. He also created beautiful paintings and recently completed the illustrations for a children’s book.  Please keep an eye out for those designs which are based upon the six chief parts of the Catechism.  Thanks, Edward, for all of your patience and help in creating a stunning set of embroidery designs to coordinate with a soon-to-be-release Luther Rose fabric!
