I love making stoles! When I was a seminary student and later serving a small church in Eastern Washington state, I made over 700 stoles. Most of them went to the bookstore (sadly, now closed) at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.
This batch of four is wonderfully varied. Blue is traditionally for Advent, but modern clergy aren’t so particular about those traditions! The second is more green than it looks in the photo. The third one — with the black background — has wonderful tulips growing on it. And the one on the right is birches in the winter (okay, not very traditional, but still cool).
I’m thinking that I may get into serious stole-making again …
Hi Sandy,
Your stoles are beautiful. Do you have plans to sell them online?
