Barbara Nichols, Directress of the Ecclesiastical Vestment and Embroidery Guild<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2022, I received a phone call from Jeanine Adinaro from Salado, Texas. She had read in the Epistle<\/em> about some of the work that the Ecclesiastical Vestment and Embroidery Guild (the Guild), which I run, had done for a church in New Jersey. She would be visiting New Jersey on vacation and wanted to visit the Guild. Unfortunately, we weren\u2019t planning to meet while she was in town, so I invited her to my home to see some of the projects on which I was working. After several hours, she left with a lot of excitement to go home and start an Embroidery Guild among her friends at St. Joseph\u2019s Episcopal Church in Salado. It took a year, but I was able to go to Texas in June of 2023, to participate in the Diocese of Texas annual conference and to spend three days with the ladies of St. Joseph\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the days we had together, the ladies learned to assemble an embroidery frame and start the first motif in the Guild\u2019s instructional book. We continue to meet monthly for a couple of hours over Zoom. I send them supplies as needed. It is great to pass on the knowledge I have been taught about Ecclesiastical Embroidery. It\u2019s a dying art and I\u2019m glad there are wonderful women in Texas who can make the time to learn, even if we live 1700 miles apart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
