I am busy right now making stoles for pastors and lay leaders to see and hopefully buy at United Methodist Annual Conference that is being held in Baton Rouge in June. I started making stoles several years ago when our pastor at the time was moving to another church. The staff at the church wanted to give him something special and unique. My daughter, Kelly and I decided to take pictures of the stainglass windows in our sanctuary and digitize them so I could stitch them on the stole. These windows are at the back of the balcony and when our pastor is at the pulpit he sees them. It was so much fun seeing these windows come to life as I stitched them on the cloth.

We also got the signatures of everyone that had worked with him in the ten years that he was at our church. We digitized them and stitched a parting wish for him and signed their names to the inside the stole.

I am making more stoles of different designs to sell at the Annual Conference. I am also hoping that people that attend will see my stoles and want me to design a special stole unique to their church. I will post other stole soon.
