Yesterday I started piecing Carolyn's stole, using the blue ties at the bottom (representing baptism.) 
I'd made good progress by Sunday afternoon--above shows how I started to incorporate the reds (for Pentacost). 
This afternoon, I finished the piecing and trimmed both halves of the stole. 
And here it is on my mannequin. The dove is a paper cut-out...to try out the size and placement. Carolyn wants a dove like this at the centre back and upper left shoulder. These will be appliqued. 
Janet,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like another beauty. What a talent to transform fabric into such a meaningful symbol.

Hi, Janet.
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to see how the stoles come together.
Even though you always start with a set shape and purpose, each design presents its own challenges and its own aha moments. So satisfyng.

This is beautiful, Janet ... I love how your swirls draw the eye upward.
