And why did I remember this old saying, along with the butcher’s children get no meat etc.? I shall share a little from my own home prayer space which has always somewhat behind in terms of textile adornment… because I’m forever making things for elsewhere! I finally got it together and here we go…

Recent work, for a private chapel.
Read moreGoldwork Tabernacle Veil
I finished this a while ago but it was only installed fairly recently as there were a few other items to go with it. The embroidery took a while to do..
Read moreThis and That
A few years ago Father O asked me if I took photographs of everything I made. He was sort of telling me off because he knew perfectly well that I sometimes forget! He knew because I had just given him some items which I had not taken pictures of. Oops.
So here we go. Some belated photographs of items I delivered Some Time Ago and Forgot to Take Pictures Of. Shame and embarrassment all round.

Another interruption, sigh… this is an interesting one though and definitely a textile art project! So here’s a peek at the presentation work for an approved reproduction of the Image of the Holy Face of the Veil of Manoppello.

When Father first moved to the parish he said something about a frontal… I valiantly avoided him and such silly notions for ever so long!
Actually I was quite unwell and wasn’t in a place to take on a big project so it just didn’t happen until quite recently…
Rose Burse & Veil Set
Here’s the end result, so far, of those embroideries.
I say so far as if you want to wait a while I will keep going and make a low Mass set!
I hesitate, as I don’t know what style of chasuble you’d like! Get in touch if you think you’re interested; I’d love to keep going but it’s a bit much for me to bite off if I don’t have a home for the set to go to…
