Vertical Design Blue Stole


 I just finished making this stole and I love it. The fabric is by Timeless Treasures and it has a very pleasing hand. The colors are rich and beautiful, reminding me of water, sky in the evening and grass. It's cool and soothing. This stole is artistic and dignified, perfect for worship in my opinion. 54" Length. Back side is black. All cotton; won't slide on your lap when sitting.

As always, I appreciate any comments you may have. See more details here: Water Stole #191.

Red Clergy Stole - Shot Cottons


Shot cotton fabrics have one color thread for the warp and another color thread for the weft. This creates a beautiful effect. All of the shot cottons in this stole have red as one of the colors in the weave. There are 8 different shot cottons and 4 solid color fabrics in this stole.
See more about this stole here: Shadrach's


Red on Red Clergy Stole



This printed red on red stole is a subtle combination of two medium reds. The background is slightly darker. The lighter red looks like it was painted on with a paintbrush. From a distance, this stole looks like a solid red, but up close it has some visual texture, some depth. 
A nice stole for ordination or Pentecost. See more here.
