Planning Ahead
Planning ahead on Ecclesiastical Sewing Projects has never been a strong point. While others may plan out every detail down to the last thread, trim, and stitch, that has never worked… Read more Planning Ahead →

False Starts and New Beginnings

Green and Gold Braid
Today has been “a lining things up” type of day. Nothing much got done in the way of specific, actual, or measurable progress on any one of Ecclesiastical Sewing or Ecclesiastical Embroidery project. Some days that is disappointing. But on other days, that can be a good thing. Let me explain. Today could be summed up as a day that felt like nothing got done. There was no time to stitch, no time to sew, no time to draw any new Ecclesiastical Embroidery Designs, or hand embroidery designs. There was… Read more Green and Gold Braid →

Trial Run at Marking for Whitework
A few weeks back, I posted about a special Sunday at church and some concerns with the Sacristy. The problem that was happening is that small linens such as Purificators are taken home to be laundered. They depart the Sacristy in a ziplock bag, get forgotten, and when finally remembered, disaster has struck. The wine stains have mildewed and the Purificators are never returned. There is an effort afoot, I hope, to start soaking and laundering the small linens at church to avoid this disaster. As the altar guild works… Read more Trial Run at Marking for Whitework →
From Inspiration Source to Stitching
Putting inspiration into action is often a difficult thing when it comes to starting a new Ecclesiastical Embroidery project, especially if it is a little larger hand embroidery project. A larger hand embroidery project can entail size, technique, design complexity of the embroidery pattern, and many more concerns. Taking those first stitches, however, and having them look well is a thrill! Over the past week or so, I have been writing about the Easter Set Pulpit fall, the steps taken to get that framed up, and the design transferred using the… Read more From Inspiration Source to Stitching →
Late Night Progress
Late, late, late. Today was one of those days. It looked like it would be an early out of work day. The doors were locked and then – a late walk-in knocked on the door. So much for trying to get an early start on the evening’s activities. Still, a little progress is still progress. Here is my little progress for this evening. The cross embroidery pattern for the Purificator has been perforated and is ready for pouncing. Many embroidery books refer to this process as “prick and… Read more Late Night Progress →
New Embroidery Frames Mean New Projects
New Embroidery Frames Mean New Projects New frames finally arrived on Monday, and so that means it is time to start a new Ecclesiastical Embroidery project! New Embroidery Frames Mean New Projects! I ordered the Millenium Frame in several sizes from Needle Needs in early April. It took quite a while for them to arrive. So now it is time to give them a try! I have the perfect Ecclesiastical Embroidery Design just waiting to try out on the new frames. The project is part of the Easter Vestment… Read more New Embroidery Frames Mean New Projects →
