My booth at the Butterfly Festival. Had a great time.

I had a deacon who had a problem.He wanted to match his dean's almy chausible, but they no longer made the tutor rose pattern in advent blue. So I had him send me a picture of his dean's stole, and I made this to match. I ordered the trim from Almy, and then I embroidered a tudor rose at the top of the stole.

This was a custom designed Deacon stole. His dean had Almy's tutor rose stole and chausable and unfortunately Almy doesn't make that pattern in blue anymore. So working from a photo I made this to match. I ordered the trim from Almy and matched the "tail" to the dean's stole.

This is a rare thing ... a tidy sewing room.
