Jane Nursey's reversible chasuble and stoles

The lovely Jane Nursey is being Deaconed on the 4th of October 2008 at East Dereham Church here in Norfolk UK.
She wanted a reversible chasuble and two matching stoles. The braid we initially decided on for the white side of the Chasuble was fearfully expensive and Jane asked a couple of members of her Church if they knew of anywhere we could get braid at a more reasonable cost. The couple that she asked are retired from their business of making Passementerie but they readily offered to make the braid we needed as a gift.
How wonderful to be able to wear something you know has been lovingly created specially for you.
The crosses on the backs of the stoles are hand embroidered to a design that Jane supplied.
The silk is from the David Walters silk mills in Sudbury.

Little Ellingham Church

Yesterday evening we went to a tiny nearby village Church in a place called Little Ellingham. Where the set of green vestments that I've recently finished were blessed. How many people are lucky enough to have their handiwork blessed?

Green chasuble set

I finished the Green Chasuble set for Eye Church. The beautiful green silk was from Sudbury. The central piece is from a Cope that was torn.

The embroideries on the stole are from a Maniple no longer used.
Here's the original Cope and it's motif.
